La Tzoumaz, at an altitude of 1550m, is one of the true hidden gems of the Swiss Alps offering immediate access to the world famous Verbier’s ski area but without the Verbier prices or crowds. It is a fantastic family resort with excellent ski conditions for all abilities where you will want to come back to again and again. La Tzoumaz is immediately adjacent to Verbier and shares the same lift system. The 8 man ultra-fast gondola to the top of the Savoleyres slopes is 1km from the chalet. This is also where the La Tzoumaz Swiss ski school is based. There is also a private ski school TZOUMEVASION SKI SCHOOL

La Tzoumaz forms part of the "Four Valleys/4 vallées/quatre vallée" ski area, which consists of various ski resorts, including Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, La Tzoumaz, and Thyon giving access to over 400 km of runs. Named after the word "tzoumer", which means taking a break, La Tzoumaz nestles against the same mountain as Verbier, Mont Savoleyres, and is at the same altitude (1550m). La Tzoumaz is situated on North-facing slopes with fantastic snowmaking and hence enjoys a long ski-season, lasting from early December all the way through to late-April. The resort is perfect for families of all abilities, with a small ski lift for children, an ice rink in winter, a heated swimming pool and the longest sledge run in Western Switzerland (at 10 kilometers). 

A ride up the La Tzoumaz telecabin will bring you to the top of the Savoleyres in less than 8 minutes.  From here there are several pistes that will lead you down on the Verbier side of the ridge.  Our favourite is the red piste just over the top.  Walk through the double-telecabin building and exit the building with Verbier-Savoleyres telecabin and the Savoleyres restaurant to your right. For 2026/2027 season Televerbier is replacing the old Savoleyres/verbier lift with a new lift directly into the Verbier Ski area see here. The upper part of the lift is comlete for the 2025/2026 ski season opening up more skiing oportunities on the sud side of Savoleyres.

Experienced skiers can ski back from Verbier via the famous Vallon d'Arbi, accessible from Lac de Vaux in Verbier.
