Pierre- Andre Gremaud, Marketing Director of Verbier Tourist Office said; “As a classic Swiss resort, the choice of so many keen skiers and even royalty, we are thrilled to have attracted the City Ski Championships to Verbier for the foreseeable future. Despite the expert skiing on offer, lively après ski and luxurious surroundings it is also the lesser known areas and aspects of Verbier that will offer a new chapter to this festivals history. We look forward to meeting all the competitors in the autumn.”
