_Alpine Property of the Week: The perfect ski penthouse in Verbier, Switzerland

About the area

Verbier has long been a favourite resort for the ski-obsessed, a picturesque Alpine village in French-speaking Swiss canton of Valais that comes alive as a glamorous winter playground during the snow-heavy season.

Verbier is the biggest resort in Switzerland’s Four Valleys and particularly popular with families who have older children and teenagers thanks to its diverse variety of winter sports and après-ski. Its exciting terrain makes it a highlight for adrenaline junkies, not to mention the popular range of restaurants, bars, shops and clubs.

The simplicity and speed of reaching the resort via public transport from Geneva International Airport have placed it as a firm favourite for weekend visitors.

However, Verbier has also become increasingly popular as a more semi-permanent base for international clientele who are attracted to the outstanding schooling options available in the area. Our Ski Property Index 2020 reveals that Verbier is the highest-ranking Swiss resort this year in terms of prime price, with annual price growth of 2.9%.

So if Verbier sounds like somewhere you can picture yourself, discover this wonderful penthouse for sale:
