Verbier

"Pub Mont Fort, that's my place. I really love to go there after an incredible day on the slopes. And the most important thing is the beers are always cold and ready. So that's the go-to. That’s good vibes only at this place."

"Hôtel de Verbier is the place I always crash. And the cool thing also is if you had a crazy day on the slopes and you feel super tired, you can go there and ask for the little spa they have and that's like a little secret thing."

"If you had a long night or you want an early start on the nice powder, there’s a little bakery called La Poste Pâtisserie. There’s a little secret window on the side of it, so you can knock on the window and the bakery man will open up and you can get your order of baguettes and croissants straight from the oven."

"Mind-blowing on a bluebird day. Just mind-blowing. You get up there and you feel kind of paralyzed for a couple of seconds because the beauty is so overwhelming. Also what I like about the POV from here is you can check out which run you want to do. It’s pretty cool. The freeride Mecca, I would say."

"Le Mouton Noir — aka the Black Sheep — is a restaurant I always stop at because it’s right on the slopes. The terrace view is amazing, the food is good and you have also some fair prices. Good meals that fill up your stomach for a good price."
