Is Verbier Changing to Become a Luxury Resort?

Verbier has always been a very popular ski resort not only among the people with the average income but it also always attracted rich people. This year Verbier introduced the drink with the cost of £4,300 and the chalet that will cost you more than £60,000. It is built in the form of the shape of the mountain house and has its own ice sculpture. On this chalet skiers even have the opportunity get a lifetime membership of the new and very fashionable Coco Club. Besides, those who like luxury will find the Richard Branson’s The Lodge. This is one of the most posh and luxurious chalets where to rent a room for a night will cost from £32,350 to £59,000. Besides, this chalet is not very large at all as it can accept only 18 adults and 6 kids.

However, Verbier has never been so expensive ski resort. It has been just a sporting resort and no one paid attention to how much money people had here. Nowadays, the situation seem to be going to the worse. Many residents of Verbier are afraid, that with the time Verbier can turn into a high-class resort where people go just to look at others.

It is still possible to find an accommodation in Verbier at an average price and some tour operators still offer people chalets at an average price. There still preserved bars where one can have beer at not high price and have a very pleasant rest after day of skiing.

However, there are also pleasant changes in Verbier. I.e. this year it has introduced a new lift for 8 seats from Tsoumaz to the top of Savoleyres. Now it carries up to 1,600 people per hour.

There was also one more important change in Medran. There has been opened a new bus lane.

Anyhow, though Verbier is still popular with the people of the middle class, many people still have noted that this ski resort has recently become very pricey.
