On the occasion of our AGM on 21 July 2026, we reviewed the main issues currently affecting Verbier and its property owners, as well as several important projects shaping the future of the resort.
In her opening remarks, President Brigitte Borel highlighted the importance of preserving the balance that is one of Verbier’s key strengths. Residents, property owners, businesses, tourism stakeholders, farmers and visitors are all part of the same ecosystem. In a constantly evolving environment, APCAV intends to continue its role as a partner for dialogue and a source of constructive proposals, helping to contribute to the harmonious development of the resort.
Several issues currently being monitored by the association were also discussed, including road safety, healthcare provision, spatial planning and infrastructure, as well as legislative developments that may have an impact on property owners.
Below you will find a summary of the main developments presented.
