For every level of hiker there is an extensive network of trails in Verbier and its surroundings, paths are well indicated with the typical Swiss yellow signs and the red-white or blue-white markings.

Voor de niet-klimmers zijn er meerdere vlakke wandelingen langs de berghelling. Het beginpunt kan worden bereikt met de lift of de auto. Bijvoorbeeld het wandelpad langs de Bisse de Levron, uitkomend bij Chûte de Bisse, maar ook hoger gelegen vanaf Croix-de-Coeur zijn er vlakke paden te wandelen.
For the hiker who wants more challenge, there are also beautiful walking day trips to make.
Some examples are the "Sentier de chamois" (the ibex trail) and along Lac Louvie, from the dam of Mauvoisin to the Cabane Chanrion, to Col des Avouillons and the Cabane Panossiere, to the Plateau du Trient or to Petit Col Ferret. They are all good hiking experiences!
There are also guided via ferrata trails at the end of the Val de Bagnes.
Multi-day tours through the alpine landscape with overnight stays in mountain huts are especially recommended, such as the Tour des Combins.

Recently cycling has developed as a summer activity in recent years. Not only for the super fit but also for the holidaymaker, because with the e-bike the slopes become a breeze.
There are many marked cycling routes, downhill and also bike parks with more challenging trails. The mountain bikes can also be transported with the lift to the higher altitudes for spectacular descents.
For inspiration, look at the website of Verbier.
