Location
Verbier is in Switzerland, close to the French border.
It is 90 mins from Geneva Airport and 60 mins from
Chamonix in France.
Verbier is the primary resort in the 4 Vallees ski-area
and is situated in a natural south facing bowl with the
main skiing areas above and behind. At 1500m Verbier is
a high resort that stays above the winter cloud and is
therefore sunny for most of the year. The pisted skiing
is from 3500m down to the valley floor (when conditions
allow) so the altitude of the main skiing area virtually
guarantees excellent snow conditions for the whole
season.
Verbier is a traditional Swiss village that has grown
sympathetically to meet the demands of skiers from all
over the world who are drawn to its reputation as one of
the best, if not the best, resort in the world!
Consequently the architecture is based on traditional
Swiss chalet designs and new buildings blend in well
with the original core village. Verbier also manages the
difficult balance of combining the charm of a
traditional resort with an après-ski to suit all tastes.
The Antika apartment is located in a large chalet
that was built as 10 separate apartments. The chalet is
located on the southern edge of Verbier so there are no
immediate buildings to obscure the view. Here the ground
drops away steeply so the views are truly spectacular.
Straight ahead are the Petit and Grand Combin, towering
over the Bruson ski-area. To the right is the Mont Blanc
massif with its collection of 4000m peaks.
The centre of Verbier is only 5 mins walk away, as is
the main (Medran) ski-lift station. A free ski-bus also
stops 1 minute from the apartment to access all the main
ski-stations. Due to its position, the apartment has the
unusual combination of being close to the buzzing centre
of Verbier but remaining blissfully quiet at all times
of the day or night.
