Although many resorts that were scheduled to open for the season today have postponed doing so, Verbier has not.
The famous Swiss resort, and the full 4 Vallées which nearly ended during the summer due to disagreements between its member lift companies, officially celebrates the beginning of the season with the Opening Session held today this Saturday, December 6, 2014.
The first arrivals to Châble this morning will be served coffee and croissants. The day will then move to the pistes with a DJ, paragliding demos and mulled wine as well as at the Place Blanche from noon with entertainment such as an airbag, brand village and live music.
As today is also the day of St. Nicholas, lift company Téléverbier are offering a free lift pass today for all those who arrive at the ticket desk dressed as St-Nicolas (Santa).
From 8pm everyone is invited to gather at the Verbier cinema for the Swiss premiere of the film 'Le Bec des Rosses - Montagne de Légende.
The opening follows several weekends of 'early opening' thanks to good snowfall in late October and the first half of November.
