About Mountain Air Verbier
Mountain Air Verbier is widely recognised as the largest and most advanced lifestyle and sports shop in the Swiss Alps. Established in 1980 by Simon Glasgow, Rod Williams, and Peter Pauling, the shop has grown from a small ski-tuning operation into a flagship retail destination at the foot of the Médran piste. Their two-storey store stocks an enormous range of ski, snowboard, and mountaineering equipment from the world's leading brands.
In winter, Mountain Air offers one of Verbier's most comprehensive rental fleets, featuring premium demo skis, all-mountain and freeride boards, boots, and avalanche safety gear. During summer, the shop pivots to mountain bikes, e-bikes, and hiking equipment, with expert mechanics on hand for servicing and fitting. Staff are passionate locals who know the terrain intimately and can match customers with the right setup for any ability level.
What sets Mountain Air apart is the sheer scale and quality of their operation — a full-service workshop, boot-fitting lab, and a curated selection of alpine lifestyle apparel under one roof. Their Place Centrale satellite store extends the convenience, and decades of experience make them a trusted institution for both seasoned locals and first-time visitors to the 4 Vallées.
