Verbier4All - promoting accessibility at the heart of Verbier
Verbier4All was established in 2019 through the collaboration of several passionate mountaineers: Valérie Vaucher, Annick Mestre, Kathryn Adams, Olivier Voelin, François de Borchgrave, and the Ski4All Wales team.
En échangeant leurs expériences, ils ont réalisé qu’ils partageaient la même conviction : la montagne doit être accessible aux personnes à mobilité réduite. Ils ont alors décidé d’unir leurs compétences et leur énergie pour créer une association permettant d’ouvrir Verbier à toutes et à tous, sans exception.
The mountains give more than landscapes: they offer freedom, unforgettable experiences, wonder, and sometimes even healing. Verbier is alive with activities throughout the year, yet too many people miss out because of limited access to adapted gear or support.
Our mission
Our goal is simple: to provide a complete set of adapted sports equipment, summer and winter, freely accessible to anyone with reduced mobility.
Mountain activities are proven to benefit health and well-being:
-
Better coordination and balance
-
Stronger muscles
-
Increased stamina
-
A confidence boost
And above all, a mountain outing brings happiness to the entire family.
Why does it matter?
A lot of people wish to be more active, but sometimes the right support makes all the difference.
Whether due to a birth condition, an accident, illness, or simply age, we believe everyone can lead a dynamic life — with the right help.
This certainty motivates our founders and volunteers: they’ve seen extraordinary moments unfold and know just how transformative these experiences can be.
