You can enjoy skiing or snowboarding on pristine, powdery slopes, surrounded by breath-taking alpine views.

31-December-2024 | Relax at a Mountain Restaurant: After your morning adventures, treat yourself to a delicious lunch in one of the mountain chalets or gourmet restaurants. Verbier has many places where you can enjoy Swiss specialties such as fondue or raclette, all while soaking in the mountain atmosphere. Again, our Concierge team is on-hand, to suggest the best restaurants based on your personal requirements. Refuel and reset before hitting the slopes again.
31-December-2024 | Afternoon Leisure: Verbier offers luxurious wellness experiences, with many of our Chalets providing state-of-the-art spa facilities. If not, then our Concierge team can recommend the best Spas to visit. Spend your afternoon unwinding with an in-chalet massage or enjoying the thermal pools, saunas, and hot tubs whilst soaking up the stunning panoramic views of the Alps. Verbier’s charming village is also perfect for a relaxing stroll. Browse upscale boutiques, art galleries, and local shops offering fine Swiss products, winter gear, and designer fashion.
31-December-2024 | Après-ski Drinks:
As the afternoon fades, Verbier is renowned for its après-ski scene. Head to a lively terrace, such as Le Rouge or Pub Mont Fort, for a cosy drink and live music. Hot cocktails, mulled wine, and local craft beers are all part of the vibe. But don’t get too carried away, as the night is young, and your personal Chef is waiting for you back at your Chalet.
31-December-2024 | New Year’s Eve Gourmet Dinner:
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. With chefs who have honed their skills in Michelin-starred restaurants or on superyachts, every meal is tailored to your tastes, whether you crave a traditional fondue or haute cuisine. The culinary experience is enhanced by expertly curated wine pairings, ensuring that each meal is a feast for the senses.
31-December-2024 | Ring in the New Year, in style:
Verbier’s exclusive nightclubs and venues host vibrant parties for New Year’s Eve. You can dance the night away at Le Farinet, a nightclub with a lively, international crowd. Alternatively, opt for a more sophisticated experience at one of the numerous bars and nightclubs in Verbier. Booking in advance is highly recommended but leave that to us, we’ve got you covered.
31-December-2024 | Fireworks Over the Alps:
At midnight, Verbier typically hosts a spectacular fireworks display, set against the stunning backdrop of the snow-capped mountains. The atmosphere is lively, festive, and full of excitement as people gather to celebrate with loved ones, friends, and fellow revellers from around the world. Many of the best vantage points are from the ski lifts, restaurants, or even from the warmth of your own Armadillo chalet. If you still have energy after the fireworks and festivities, Verbier’s après-ski bars are open well into the night.
