Freeride Verbier by Gilbert Crettaz is an off piste guide book for Verbier. This Verbier off piste guide book is a comprehensive guide to all the backcountry skiing and snowboarding and off piste descents in and around the legendary Swiss resort of Verbier.
Freeride Verbier has text in both French and English describing 87 of the best freeride routes in the area. The book contains fantastic images, often from the air, of each zone with the routes clearly marked on the photos. Difficulty ratings, general terrain, vertical descent and time are given for each descent, most of which are close to the lifts rather than proper touring itineraries.
General info on access, avalanche concerns and safety is also given for the area, along with mentioning areas that often hold the best snow. A special section towards the rear describes heliskiing descents in the Arolla, Petit Combin and Glacier du Trient areas too.
Freeride Verbier is an essential companion for anyone looking heading to Verbier for some backcountry and off piste skiing or snowboarding. See all our Verbier maps and guide books.
