The Opening Session event marks the start of the 2022/2023 winter season! What is the concept? Come to the Verbier ski area dressed as St. Nicholas. Registration are completed !
An event that combines fancy dress, festivities and skiing! For the occasion, the price of a day’s skiing is just CHF 5 for anyone wearing their best St. Nicholas costume.
The programme for the day begins early in the morning with a free train (in collaboration with RegionAlps) departing from Geneva and stopping at all the main towns between Geneva and Le Châble. You can look forward to coffee and croissants aboard this special train, at Le Châble train station and at the cable car station in Verbier (Médran).
After a few runs down the ski slopes, don’t miss the traditional get-together at Chalet Carlsberg to enjoy Happy Hour with music from DJ Valentin Stutz. The party continues at Médran Café with free mulled wine for all the Saint Nicholas who can wiggle their hips to the rhythm of the DJ’s set.
A jump will be installed at Place Centrale in Verbier. The more adventurous can have some fun trying out their most impressive jumps! A photographer will be there, and the best photos will be posted on social media.
