The best hotels and ski chalets in Verbier
Verbier is a resort which has long been heavy on exclusive private chalets, along with a smattering of upmarket hotels and more reasonable lodges. Perhaps surprisingly, for such a well-heeled resort, there also are a couple of hostel-style options but these need booking well in advance.
It’s worth paying attention to where accommodation is located as the village is very spread out. Staying within walking distance of Médran is ideal, to avoid crowds on the shuttle bus that links all parts of the village. It’s worth knowing that the more upmarket chalets run their own shuttle services around the resort.

Formerly a vicarage and now a church-owned, non-profit hostel, MAP (Maison d’Accueil de la Paroisse) sleeps 23 people in five rooms (six-bed, four-bed and three-bed). Located near the atmospheric old wooden barns of Verbier Village, it is 15 minutes' walk from the Médran gondola, so places tend to sell out early. There’s a large, friendly living room, fully equipped kitchen, free Wi-Fi and shared bathrooms.
