Verbier and Switzerland

VIS’s location in the heart of Verbier enables us to take great advantage of the mountains in summer and winter whilst our students and parents are a crucial part of the wider Verbier community.

Perched on a sunny plateau in the heart of the Valais Alps, Verbier has carefully maintained its charm as an alpine village.

This is the gateway to the 4 Vallées ski area – with nearly 100 lifts and more than 400 km of ski runs for all levels of expertise at your feet. Mont Fort, the highest point of the ski area at 3’330 m, offers a panorama over the Matterhorn, the Grand Combin and the Mont Blanc massif.

Made up of picturesque villages, the Val de Bagnes stretches for more than 25 kilometres, from Le Châble to the impressive Mauvoisin Dam. This is a veritable kaleidoscope of surroundings – from pastures to eternal glaciers – and the region is home to one of Switzerland’s greatest natural reserves.

The language of the region is French, but many residents speak English. German is also widely spoken. The views of the surrounding mountains, forests and valleys are spectacular, and most properties in Verbier are built in a traditional style, incorporating locally-sourced wood and stone.

Verbier is unrivalled for winter and summer sports, set in a healthy and safe mountain environment. Businesses and entrepreneurs will also find many advantages to a Canton of Valais location, and Verbier in particular given its international outlook. Verbier proudly hosts international sporting and cultural events every year.

Switzerland is renowned for its quality of life, security and safety. It is a paradise for outdoor activities and its central location in Europe allows easy access to a huge range of wonderful opportunities within a few hours travel.
