This winter, discover the art of arrival
In a world of endless options, simplicity has become the ultimate luxury. With everything just a tap away, the sheer abundance of choice can be as exhausting as it is exciting.
And travelling to a ski resort? It’s rarely seamless. Between juggling multiple ticketing apps, deciphering CAPTCHA puzzles for a few minutes of patchy Wi-Fi, and navigating airport lounges that feel more crowded than considered – even the most seasoned traveller can find the experience exhausting.
But this winter, the route to Verbier is a breath of fresh air, quite literally. With new routes, refined services, and smarter connections, getting to the Swiss Alps is smoother, faster, and decidedly more elegant.
Whether you’re jetting in from the East Coast or hopping on an afternoon train from Paris, travelling to Verbier has never felt so effortless, or so chic. Here’s what’s new, what’s next, and why, this year, the journey really is part of the experience.
One Alpine destination, a world of ways there
Transatlantic travel? No problem. Direct flights connect Washington DC and New York to Geneva, with many more landing in Zurich (from LA, Chicago, Miami - to name just a few). Other non-European hubs boasting direct flights to Geneva include Dubai (7h05) and Beijing (10h25). No layovers, no lost luggage – just you, and a window seat view of the Alps to make even the most seasoned flyer set down their Champagne in awe.
And for those who’d rather avoid TSA lines? Private jets to Sion Airport offer a near-instant passport to paradise. This isn’t just about saving a little time – it’s about landing just 45 minutes from the slopes, being whisked through snow-dusted valleys, and arriving slope-side in time for apres. The air may be thinner up here, but so is the traffic.
Enter: Uber Ski
Yes, you read that correctly. Uber Ski is now live – a premium ride service tailored specifically for winter travellers heading to the mountains. Think heated seats, four-wheel drive, ski racks, and enough room for the whole family (plus a few inevitable over-packed suitcases).
Landing in Geneva? Slide straight from arrivals into the backseat. Coming from Lausanne? Let Uber Ski take you up the final stretch to Verbier without the hassle of train timetables or shuttle stress.
Europe feels closer than ever
There’s something poetic about sipping a coffee in Italy in the morning and clinking vin chaud glasses under a starlit Alpine sky the very same night. This winter, new and returning rail services make that journey easier than ever. Notably, the high-speed Frecciarossa between Milan and Paris is back on track, offering swift cross-border travel via Lyon. With smooth onward transfers from Lake Geneva, Martigny and Le Chable to Verbier, crisp air and quiet luxury have never felt closer. Culture in the city, powder in the peaks; your weekend has just been elevated.
For our friends from further afield, why not stay a little longer and make the most of having Europe on your doorstep? With must-see destinations like Zermatt, Chamonix and Interlaken all under 3h away, and excellent connections to iconic European cities – could this be your ‘Euro Winter’?
Getting to Verbier is no longer just a box to tick. It’s part of the story – the breathtaking build up before the grand reveal.
So, whether you're coming from the sky scrapers of San Francisco, the boardrooms of Beijing, or a penthouse in Paris, Verbier awaits – more accessible, more effortless, and more irresistible than ever before.
