If you cannot not wait until the winter to get your next ski fix we can arrange trips to Saas Fee or Zermatt accompanied by one of our in-house instructors where summer skiing is available on the glaciers.

This is about a 2 hour drive from Verbier. The conditions can vary hugely during the summer where the pistes can be bullet proof in the morning and then soften up in the afternoons. If you are lucky you may just catch some fresh powder which falls at altitude when summer storms blow in.
