Traveller notes on Verbier in August
Other months in Verbier
Verbier's forum calls January one of the best months for skiing — colder temperatures and regular snowfall keep the powder dry and fresh, and regulars say you simply won't be queuing at the lifts once the holiday crowds head home. The last week of January is often singled out as a sweet spot: good snow cover, thinner crowds, and better rates than the Christmas rush.
