In Verbier inexcusably long time to sleep: it is not arrogant, pompous and spoiled attention crowned heads and billionaires St. Moritz, is not universal political and economic shows Davos. Among all the resorts

he is reputed to be the most, so to speak, "ski" - the local trails require a skiers excellent physical condition and skill, so go here first and foremost fans of the steep trails of the serious adrenaline, not lovers of sunbathing and hanging out on the slope with a cup of coffee and a cigarette demonstrating a trendy outfit. Thats my companion and guide on the routes of the local "Terskol" head of the Moscow representative office of the Swiss Tourism Eyttlin Jonas, himself an athlete and instructor, fairly smacked his lips with his lips in paragraph Equipment rental - the choice of the most "cool" model for the pros. This resort to the best of democratic, there is no sverhpafosnyh hotels, but many young people. It is well-known festivals are held here, freeride competitions and ekstrimerov from around the world Adrenaline Contest - in late January and Red Bull Extreme - in late March.

In the mountains of cloudless frosty day, so quickly have breakfast while the rest of the skiers still sipping morning coffee, coming to himself after a night discos, take the ski and climb up on the sleepy main street to the bottom lift station Medrano! The reward to us - a fantastic sliding, "waffle" without a trace after a snowcat, where you can warm up to prescribe a broad sinusoid, preparing for the test Mont-Faure. But what is it? Fresh tracks in the snow, and even some strange, broken, and by me with the whooping and whistling, carried into meter obrezkahEByzh with curved edges something raspberry zelenovolosoe something, looks like a canvas bag with a hole for the head.

So thats what they are, the Crazy Girls, wearing here on the "Blade", that is, "blades" and infringing their mock "Bigfoot" and other nedomerkami on impeccable line "correct" skis. Thats who encroached on the aristocratic spirit of the Verbier ski! Well, in a certain charm to them can not refuse. And with the dominance of snowboarders who are here once not allowed on the lifts, the more must be tolerated, because almost all teenagers prefer snowboarding.

... At the peak of Mont Fort, the main height Verbier (3330m), climb in several stages. First climb to the summit of LOlimpique, c it down skiing in La Chaux, then climb up to Sol des Gentianes and from there on the road to the pendulum itself Mont Fort. From the observation platform above the station opens breathtaking panorama of mountains. Staring into the blues four crowded to the horizon. The height and the characteristic profile stands the famous Matterhorn (4478 m), dominant in the Swiss Alps above Zermatt, but on its own story.

We go down along the pendulum lift on steep bumpy "black" route and find ourselves, like a knight at the crossroads: go left, get into the valley of Le Chable on one of the best in the world runs a length of 15 kilometers and a height difference of 2,530 meters! True, back in Verbier have to skibase. You go to the right: get out in Siviez into the fast lane abruptly. Such temptations Verbier scattered on all slopes. Yes unless Verbier! Not for nothing, those who drive on Swiss roads, knows how difficult it is to change them.

For ekstrimerov and "virgin soil" is the area of Mont-Gele, for those who are tired or not feeling quite confident on the "black routes" - comfortable, red-blue "slopes La Chaux, many trails Attelas zone (2733 m) , snow circus Sevoleyr, forested slopes directly above Verbier along the bottom line lifts and slopes of Trakai and snow circus over BRUSSON. At the same circus, excellent skiing and for lovers of virgin land, but strongly recommend that they first ask the instructors what the slopes safe for avalanches. This especially concerns the area of Mont-Zhel, where the virgin slopes are very steep, and the height of over three thousand.

Verbier - one of the largest in the Alps, ski area, which spreads in four valleys with a total length of trails over four kilometers, so it makes sense to bypass all of these with the exploration of the valley, where every skier will find the most whimsical "his" personal route. Almost all of these fabulous abundance of trails and lifts must Alpine resort fan of Rudolph Tissier, a lawyer by profession, who for 35 years was the permanent director of the company Televerbier, which has built here since 1950, cable cars.

Like all the resorts of the canton of Valais - and many of them here in the south-west of Switzerland, Verbier is very beautiful. He built up a very compact, of course, entirely wooden two-storied hotel in the traditional style alpine chalet. Inside - full of comfort and cosiness, regardless of the number of stars. Of course, there are among them and very well-known and therefore more expensive. How, for example, Rosalp c marble bathrooms, great views of the mountains and the restaurant, considered one of the best in

. Or Rhodania c disco, an Italian restaurant, and no less beautiful panorama of the mountains, opening with wooden balconies.

Here are the dining and entertainment guide recommends "Le Petit Fyute: you can eat without going down from the highlands to the resort in Cabanne du Mont-Fort, and the prices here are not sky-high. A restaurant in the station Attelas versed German magazine recognized generally best mountain gastronomic restaurant in Europe, and it tasted scallops in orange sauce, I fully subscribe to the Germans! In the Verbier is considered to be a good gastronomic restaurant, Chez Roland Pierroz, and specialties of cheese, including the "cult" fondue and Raclette is served in Dany. In the evening you can go to the Pub du Mont-Fort c its relaxed atmosphere, and fans of the night dancing invites Farm.

Getting to the hotel in Verbier be through the airports of Geneva or Zurich, where you have to deliver comfort from Domodedovo Swiss International Airlines, with a ski or snowboard will not have to pay extra for oversized cargo as, if not exceeded the total allowable baggage weight. And then the train to Le CHABLIS (highly recommend the Golden Panoramica Express ") and bus, admiring the panorama of mountains.

Thank Office of Tourism and the Swiss airline SWISS AIR for organizing the trip.
