Descend the legendary Bec des Rosses, free ride through the Vallon d’Arby or ski as a family on the forgiving slopes through the trees to La Tzoumaz.Â
As night falls the focus moves into the village centre. Après-ski evenings often start at Hotel Farinet, Mont Fort Pub or Le Rouge and end at the legendary Farm Club where royalty and celebrities party with seasonaires.

Its position directly in the middle of the Verbier bowl ensures great views and good sunshine with the east side of the area a particular hit with buyers who want to easy access to Le Rouge piste.
The purchase process in Switzerland is straightforward and well structured. However, Switzerland imposes restrictions on who can purchase property with the precise rules differing between regions and sometimes between neighbouring resorts. In general, non-Swiss nationals who want to buy property in Switzerland must obtain a permit prior to any purchase. The two laws that concern the purchase of second homes are the Lex Koller, introduced in the 1980s as a way of limiting the number of second homes allowed to be purchased by non-residents and the Lex Weber, introduced in 2012, limiting the supply of new second homes. Under the Lex Koller foreign buyers are only permitted to own one property in Switzerland and they cannot resell their home within five years of purchase.
There are some of Switzerland’s 26 cantons (administrative areas) where only Swiss nationals or people holding a Permit B (long-term work permit) or a Permit C (a permanent residence permit) can buy. Many of the elite ski resorts and also the cities of Geneva and Zurich have severe restrictions.
