Here\u2019s everything you need to know about what\u2019s new and what makes Verbier a top pick for luxury travellers in the 2025\/26 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>New Heights of Skiing Infrastructure<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3>Farewell to a Legend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This season marks the final winter for Switzerland\u2019s oldest operating gondola, dating back to 1970. The Verbier-Savoleyres cable car is an icon, but its long-awaited replacement signifies Verbier&#8217;s committment to skier comfort, mountain accessibility and efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original cars will be auctioned in summer 2026, making this your last chance to ride an iconic piece of alpine history before it\u2019s gone. It&#8217;s replacement, the Les Esserts-Savoleyres T\u00e9l\u00e9mixte is partially operational this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Brand New Les Esserts-Savoleyres T\u00e9l\u00e9mixte<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2024 construction began on the <a href=\"https:\/\/tmx-savoleyres.ch\/en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">new t\u00e9l\u00e9mixte lift<\/a> (a lift that carries both chairlifts and gondola cars &#8211; similar to the La Chaux Express), to create a seamless connection between Verbier and La Tzoumaz in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skiinluxury.com\/switzerland\/4-vallees\/luxury-ski-chalets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">4 Vall\u00e9es.<\/a> The first phase of this innovative hybrid lift opens this winter, offering a more efficient link from Les Planards to Savoleyres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With 6-seater chairs and 10-seater cabins, when the full system is complete, it will carry 1,675 skiers every hour and give guests a faster, smoother ride to more varied terrain during ski holidays to Verbier this winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Speeding up the Lac II Chairlift<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This winter, Verbier is also replacing the two-seater Lac II chair with a new high-speed six-person chairlift. This will improve flow between Lac des Vaux and Col de Chassoure, a vital route for those seeking Verbier\u2019s legendary freeride terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The improved journey time will be 5 minutes, and capacity will increase from 1,200 people to up to 2,000 people per hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"556\" src=\"https:\/\/www.skiinluxury.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SKI_LA_TZOUMAZ-1024x556.jpeg\" alt=\"Two skiers skiing in the Savoleyres sector of Verbier\" class=\"wp-image-47730\" title=\"Skiing in Verbier\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.skiinluxury.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SKI_LA_TZOUMAZ-1024x556.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.skiinluxury.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SKI_LA_TZOUMAZ-300x163.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.skiinluxury.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SKI_LA_TZOUMAZ-768x417.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.skiinluxury.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SKI_LA_TZOUMAZ-1536x834.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.skiinluxury.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/SKI_LA_TZOUMAZ-2048x1112.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>New Culinary Highlights<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/latableverbier.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">La Table Verbier<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The latest venture from renowned chefs Pierre-Jean and Tibo, <a href=\"https:\/\/latableverbier.ch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">La Table Verbier<\/a> opens next to the Esserts piste.
