On April 16, 2025, we had the pleasure of welcoming around 150 people at the W Verbier for a themed aperitif organized for Verbier’s English-speaking community. The event was open to both members and non-members interested in joining us. We are pleased to already count several new members since the event.
Michele Lloyd, a member of the committee, began by offering a few welcoming words to those present, encouraging those who are not yet part of APCAV to join us.
Our president, Brigitte Borel, then introduced the association and the benefits it offers to the Verbier community.
Malvine Moulin and Guillaume Colin, representatives of the Commune of Val de Bagnes, along with Antoine Hahne, partner at PONT12 Architectes SA, shared the latest developments regarding the future Verbier Sports Centre.

Finally, Laurent Vaucher, CEO of Téléverbier SA, addressed key topics such as the new Télémix, the future of Savoleyres, as well as the development of the Médran / Lumi site. He refuted the rumors suggesting that Téléverbier had opted to build a youth hostel on the Médran / Lumi site. Moreover, the possibility of a five-star hotel is difficult to consider due to the lack of space, but all options remain open, and in any case, they will require a detailed neighborhood development plan beforehand. Members of the APCAV will be kept informed of future developments.
After many questions from the audience, guests enjoyed a friendly and relaxed moment over drinks.
