Smith tip
Culture and skiing don’t normally go together but Verbier is a little bit different. It’s a short drive or train ride from the resort to Martigny, home of the excellent Foundation Pierre Gianadda (www.gianadda.ch). This is a complex of galleries, museums and concert halls which hosts exhibitions by artists such as Chagall, Kandinsky and Van Gogh as well as staging numerous classical concerts.
