How to do it: Walk the 15 minutes from the centre of town to Clambin, where the Chez Dany snow cat will collect you from the foot of the slope to bring you to its nighttime-secluded location. Bring a head torch and toboggan (which you can rent from any ski hire shop in town) and make your descent from the restaurant with an exhilarating ride back into Verbier.

Verbier has a lively restaurant scene, both on the mountain and down in the town. Chez Dany is a slope-side restaurant tucked away in the wooded hamlet of Clambin. It’s one of Verbier’s best with a cosy lodge interior that’s brimming with atmosphere most every night of the week. The menu is traditional mountain fare and based on fresh, locally sourced ingredients – perfect for an authentic Swiss meal away from the hubbub of Verbier central.

Everyone has a story about the Farm Club, a Verbier institution and nightclub famous through the Alps, no, the (ski) world… It’s been going since 1971 and is expensive, but a must when visiting Verbier. Pub MontFort has a busy and inclusive après scene, a favourite among all ages, with a more chilled (in Verbier terms) atmosphere and a happy hour between 4pm and 5pm. Ski pub Fer A Cheval is an all-evening watering hole that’s friendly, lively and relaxed. As mentioned above, it’s also the locals’ favourite.

It’s a luxurious way to sightsee and an unbeatable experience, discovering the Alps from above with endless vistas on a helicopter tour over Verbier. Fly above the famous summits of Mont- Blanc, the Matterhorn, Les Dents Blanches. If you’re a competent off-piste skier, a few heliskiing rides could be on your bucket list. Only certain countries and regions allow it so it’s a rare treat, but one you can dine out on for ever. Take on descents of over 3,000m through some of the most majestic glacial and mountain terrain the Alps has to offer. Ski the Petit-Combin, the Aiguilles du Tour, the Rosablanche or the Pigne d’Arolla.
