My base was Les Collons
In February 2026, Chalet Morven in Les Collons was the base for exploring the area. That is why this gets an area guide as well as a Verbier review: where you sleep, how you reach the slopes and the route home all shape the holiday.
The confidence story
In my Top Ten narration I describe the yellow itineraries as something that once frightened me and later became routes I loved. The important part is the progression between those two experiences. Marking alone is not a measure of suitability for a particular skier.
Join the individual places together
Thyon and Les Collons, Veysonnaz, Nendaz and Verbier each have an entry below. Those pages share the relevant podcast and film rather than suggesting I made a separate full review in every village.
Plan connections, not just kilometres
Use the operator’s map and daily status to plan a route that gets you back to your base. Pistes and ungroomed itineraries are different products; check exactly what is open and what your group can ski.
