Travelling to Verbier
However you choose to travel to Verbier, the good news is it’s nice and easy!
The closest international airport is Geneva, a 1h45 minute drive from Verbier. It’s also only a 10-minute gondola ride from the nearest train station, Le Chable. If you prefer to self-drive the roads are easy to navigate, well signposted, and satellite navigation works well.
Train
Taking the train is not only the most environmentally friendly way to travel but a lovely one too. Trains in Switzerland are extremely efficient, rarely delayed, and always nice and clean. The route from Geneva airport to Verbier is beautiful as you head around Lake Geneva for a lot of the way. From Geneva airport, you take the train to Martigny, and then from there, you change trains and take a 2nd train to Le Chable.
Look at the SBB website for up-to-date train times.
From Le Chable, you can either take the bus, gondola, or a taxi into Verbier.
For taxis, we recommend May Taxi – they can collect you from Le Chable train station and take you directly to your door in Verbier.
If you prefer to take the gondola, this runs 5:15am – 11:50pm daily throughout the year apart from a few exceptions. If joining us for our summer camp, you can be assured it is open every day! Simply purchase a ticket at the gondola station and you will arrive into Medran, the main lift station in Verbier. It is worth bearing in mind that from Medran, you may still have a fair walk to your accommodation so we recommend a bus or train unless staying close by to Medran.
For buses, you can check the schedule here – there are many stops in Verbier, meaning you can work out which is nearest to your accommodation and jump off close by.
Private Transfers
If you have lots of luggage and/or many children, it is more convenient to take a private transfer from Geneva Airport directly to your hotel or apartment in Verbier. Many companies offer this service and we can book this on your behalf. Prices start from CHF 550 for a one-way trip from Geneva Airport to Verbier. If you prefer to book your transfer directly, we recommend Verbier Transfers.
