It’s official, Verbier has done it once again and won the title of Switzerland’s best ski resort at the 2024 World Ski Awards. The competition was fierce, with big name resorts like St Moritz, Gstaad and Zermatt in the running but our beloved Verbier came out on top… again!
Verbier: The King of Ski Resorts
Perched on a sunny plateau at an altitude of 1,500 metres in the heart of the Swiss Alps, with its slate-roofed chalets, Verbier has carefully maintained its charm as an alpine village. This is the gateway to the 4 Vallées ski area – with nearly 100 lifts and more than 400 km of ski runs for all levels of expertise – but also a freeride paradise, a must for skiers from all over the world. Its “après-ski” is a real institution that welcomes a cosmopolitan clientele of all generations, not to mention the unforgettable nightlife.

Our chalets are carefully handpicked for their luxury, comfort, and location in some of the most sought-after high-altitude ski resorts in the Alps.

Dining is a highlight of the Armadillo experience. The in-chalet dining service is designed to feel like the perfect dinner party every night of the week.

The culinary experience is enhanced by expertly curated wine pairings, ensuring that each meal is a feast for the senses. The attention to detail extends beyond the dining table. The chalet hosts are not only there to serve but also to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. From setting up showstopping table displays to ensuring your ski boots are toasty warm in the morning, their goal is to make your stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. They are also your go-to for insider knowledge about the resort and can arrange any special requests through the in-resort concierge service.
For those who appreciate a good drink, Armadillo has you covered. Before your trip, you can select your favourite wines from a curated list, and if you have a particular bottle in mind, the team will ensure it’s waiting for you at the chalet. Your host can mix up your favourite cocktails, whether you're enjoying them fireside or in the hot tub, and they’ll even whip up indulgent hot chocolates for the kids.
Armadillo’s service extends to every aspect of your stay, including housekeeping and transportation. The housekeeping team works quietly behind the scenes to keep your chalet immaculate, ensuring that you return from the slopes to a perfectly fluffed bed and a cosy atmosphere.
Getting around the resort is effortless with Armadillo’s fleet of experienced drivers. They are available to shuttle you to and from the ski lifts, après-ski spots, or dinner reservations, making sure that you travel in comfort and style.
