Nestled in the heart of the Swiss Alps, the village of Verbier is a popular destination, renowned as much for its breathtaking scenery as for its refined art of living. In summer, this Alpine paradise is transformed into a classical music mecca thanks to the famous Verbier Festival.
Since its creation, this not-to-be-missed event has attracted the greatest artists and young talents from the four corners of the globe. For several weeks, music lovers have the opportunity to attend masterful concerts, intimate recitals and unique encounters between masters and students. The festival stages, set in the heart of the mountains, offer an exceptional setting, where natural beauty blends with the magic of notes.
The festival is a compendium of great events, with composers in the limelight. Johann Strauss, born 200 years ago, is celebrated in style with a concert featuring the superb cellist Gautier Capuçon. Shostakovich, celebrating the 50th anniversary of his death, will be played by the biggest stars of the day, including Martha Argerich, Mischa Maïsky, Antoine Tamestit and the Quatuor Ébène! The voice is not forgotten either, with Sonya Yoncheva, Alice Coote, Sunnyboy Dladla and Ludovic Tézier performing Rossini's virtuoso Stabat Mater!
Verbier is not just about music: it's also a place of discovery. With hiking, local gastronomy and outdoor activities, the festival is a harmonious part of a rich and varied experience. Whether you're a music fan or a lover of enchanting landscapes, Verbier and its festival promise unforgettable moments of escape, emotion and inspiration.
