Classical music festival
by eurotravels
Verbier hosts a classical music festival in mid to end of July. It's way too sophisticated for my musical tastes - I'm more U2, Lenny Kravitz etc but if it's your thing there is a web site already set up for the 2005 festival.

Freeride Xtreme Verbier
by Tripack
Don't even think about it...
Why extreme? Just look up the Bec des Ross peak, you will see some Kamikaze riding down the face avoiding or jumping rocks barriers... of course everything are under control... until the next turn ;-)
Bec des Rosses playground: 3222m, 45°-55° slopes and 500m vertical drop.
Next 11th edition: 17-19 March 2006 to see pro freeriders in fresh powder from the friendly village is set up at the Col des Gentianes (3000 m) just in front of the Bec des Rosses: the perfect place to admire the breathtaking runs of the freeriders.
Verbier and the Swiss Alps

"Verbier/Medieres"
Spent 18 days in Verbier and it was amazing. The snowboarding was great, the hiking awesome, the paragliding thrilling, the nightlife eclectic, the fondue awesome and the views breathtaking. An amazing getaway if you love the outdoors, the snow and adventure. I understand why so much of Europe heads to the Swiss Alps during the winter. Incredible. I'd go back again and again.
