Verbier 4 Vallées

The 4 Vallées operates 68 lifts comprising 16 gondolas, four aerial trams, five six-person chairs, seven quad chairs, one triple chair, three double chairs, 30 T-bars and two surface lifts. Major gondola installations include the Le Châble-Verbier link running year-round from 5.10am to 11.55pm, the Funispace 30-person funitel, and eight-person gondolas at Veysonnaz and Chassoure. The 150-person Jumbo cable car and 115-person Col des Gentianes tram provide the two-stage ascent to Mont Fort's 3,330-metre summit.

Recent infrastructure upgrades include the 2025-26 Télémixte hybrid lift replacing the ageing Savoleyres cable car with combined six-seat chairs and 10-person gondolas running from Les Esserts at 1,700 metres to Savoleyres at 2,200 metres. The Lac 2 chairlift received a six-seat Bartholet replacement increasing capacity from 1,200 to 2,000 people per hour with heated seats and weather protection. A new six-seat detachable chair is planned for Bruson's Grand Tsai sector for the 2026-27 season.

Verbier's main lifts access the network via Médran, with the Attelas, La Chaux Express and Lac des Vaux installations feeding mid-mountain zones before converging at Tortin for connections eastward into the Printse sector or upward via Jumbo and Col des Gentianes to Mont Fort. The Savoleyres side operates independently until the Télémixte completion creates ski-in connections. Siviez provides the primary Nendaz access point with fast links to Plan du Fou.

Queue management remains effective outside peak French and Swiss school holidays, though the two Tortin chairs and Mont Fort trams can experience 15-minute waits on powder days and weekends. Modern detachable chairs in Verbier and Veysonnaz contrast with the preponderance of drag lifts still serving Nendaz and Thyon, making snowboarders favour the western sectors. Lift operations maintain Swiss precision with minimal weather closures outside extreme wind events affecting exposed ridge installations.
