The Wallis ski area “4 Vallées / Mont Fort” around Verbier promises unlimited sports possibilities and pure snow fun! You can take advantage of the SBB RailAway Combo Passes to reach this winter sports paradise!
Because it’s sane take the train…and we tested it:
That they recently opened the hip “W” design hotel in Verbier (here is what we wrote in our travel memo) was reason enough to embark on the “long trip” from Zurich to the Wallis.
Lugging the usual blogger‘s equipment, including tons of photographic equipment, we got moving – into the train compartment, to be exact.
Snow’n’Rail – Discounted winter sport offers from SBB
Having no desire to get stuck in traffic and wanting to get there stress-free, we decided to go by train. Can anything beat traveling in comfort with a fine breakfast in the SBB bistro car??
From left to right, travel bloggers Walter, Dimitri, Katja, and Mamiko.
The ride in the bistro compartment evidently turned out to be entertaining and, of course, endless shop talk dominated with four travel bloggers ride the rails together…
And there was much to photograph. I believe in Wallis they call it an occupational hazard .
The SBB‘s Snow’n’Rail offer
In addition, with their Snow’n’Rail packages, the SBB offers Snow’n’Rail package very attractive deals, including
