When you think about booking your summer holiday, you often think of sandy beaches, days by the pool and long hot days. A ski resort nestled in the Swiss Alps is probably not the first thing that comes to mind. However, we are here to tell you how amazing visiting Verbier in the summer months can be. With stunning views across the Vals de Bagnes valley and surrounding mountain ranges, Verbier is worth visiting in the summer for the landscape alone.
When you think of a UK summer, you think of a warm drizzle and a Mr Whippy from the back of an ice-cream van. In Verbier, you can be surrounded by breathtaking mountains, beautiful views and cloudless blue skies. Known as the playground for the rich and famous during the ski season, Verbier is equally as fun and luxurious in the summer months. Read on to find out more about the summer activities available in Verbier and the best holiday, seasonal or annual accommodation to rent for your stay.
While in the winter ski season, skiing, snowboarding and apres-ski are the most popular activities on the mountain. With many news posts dedicated to ski information such as ‘ski spots in Verbier – where to go this season’ and ‘safety first: our ski safety tips for your next downhill adventure’. However, there is plenty to do during the warmer months on the mountain.
No matter your walking or hiking preferences, there is a wide range of challenging climbs and gentle walks around the nearby mountain ranges and national parks. (Read more about the national parks in our blog ‘Things To Do In Verbier In Spring 2022’.)

Well known for its vast number of beautiful mountain biking trails, when the snow melts and the ski hire shops close their doors for another season, it’s time to make room for another popular Verbier mountain sport: mountain biking. Biking is a great way to cover a lot of ground in a shorter time around the mountains. With e-bikes and traditional mountain bikes available to hire in the resort, no matter your abilities or fitness levels, mountain biking is a must-try when visiting Verbier this summer.
A little different to a mountain trek, the Verbier mine tour is a guided walk of an abandoned mine at Mont-Chemin. Take an accompanied walk through the old mine and marvel at the old iron, lead and silver mines which were in use up until the late 20th century. See the beautiful rock formations of granite, marble and quartz, with flecks of blue and green minerals across the floors, walls and ceilings of the mine.
Available from June to October, Verbier’s aerial walkway is the perfect daytime activity for all the family to enjoy. With three action-packed courses at varying difficulties with ziplines, jumps and other airborne obstacles. Visiting the aerial walkway will be a holiday activity that the whole family will remember and discuss for a long time to come.
Part of a summer holiday is to rest and recuperate before heading back to normality. The secluded Spa by Valmont has steam baths, massage rooms and other treatments available for you to relax into a state of zen. Nothing beats enjoying a fabulous spa day whilst looking out on the perfect alpine scenery, which surrounds the spa treatment rooms and pool.
