 Verbier
sits on a vast, sunny plateau in the Bagnes Valley in Switzerland's
southernmost Alps. It looks toward the Combin and Mont Blanc
mountains, which are covered with snow year-round, even when the
town is bursting with leafy trees and flowers. At 1,5 Kms (5,000 ft.),
Verbier was a pastureland before developing into an outstanding
sports center. The area is protected from harsh winds by the
surrounding mountains. Few places in the world offer such
breadth of possibilities with such awe-inspiring scenery as a
backdrop. Verbier is characterized by unattractive
apartment blocks and modern housing. |
