Yellow Itinerary Run Challenge
The majority of these routes are not for the faint hearted or inexperienced. They are off-piste runs with yellow markers to indicate the safest line down the mountain.
Piste patrol may often close these runs if the conditions are too dangerous, but they offer up amazing conditions when there’s fresh powder. Be sure to take all usual precautions and safety equipment when skiing these runs.

Best of Savoleyres
Savoleyres is an ideal area to head to when the clouds close on as it’s not super high and has lots of tree runs to explore. When the snow comes, it’s also a popular powder destination for off-piste skiers.
When the skies are blue, it’s also an ideal place for intermediate skiers who want to improve their carving on gentler slopes. The south side heading back into Verbier also has a number of restaurants with delightful sun traps for a lunch stop or beverage.
Best of Bruson
Bruson has been transformed by the new fast chair which takes you up to the bottom of Pasay. It’s the go-to area for experienced locals in bad weather and powder as the tree skiing there is phenomenal.
In better conditions it also has some superb carving runs in Pissevache and Pasay which aren’t too difficult. Well worth the trip across the valley for.
