What Televerbier does

Téléverbier SA is a Swiss ski lift operating company headquartered in Verbier and listed on Euronext Paris (ticker TVSB) since 2001, although approximately 74% of the equity remains privately held. Founded circa 1950, the company has operated continuously for more than 70 years and is the most important ski lift operator in French-speaking Switzerland (Romandie). Its core product is the operation of ski lift infrastructure across three owned ski areas — Verbier, La Tzoumaz and Bruson — plus the shared operation with NV Remontées mécaniques of the Mont-Fort sector. Televerbier is the flagship operator of the 4 Vallées consortium, which at 410 km of pistes served by 82 installations is the largest connected ski domain in Switzerland, while the company's directly operated domain accounts for 36 installations and 203 km of pistes with peaks above 3,300 m and extensive mechanical snowmaking coverage.

The company monetizes primarily through lift pass sales, which account for roughly 74% of semi-annual revenue, complemented by altitude restaurant services, tourist accommodation (managed since 2020 via the T-Resort subsidiary on the T-One real estate complex at La Tzoumaz, in which Televerbier holds 50%), operational management of Télé-Thyon SA (44.27% stake), and engineering/maintenance services through the wholly-owned subsidiary Services Techniques Alpin SA, which sells primarily to Romandie ski lift operators. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via an online shop (verbier4vallees.ch) and physical points-of-sale across the resort, with a separate B2B portal for trade partners and reciprocal-pass arrangements with 14 international partner ski areas including Vail Resorts, Chamonix, Portes du Soleil, Grandvalira and Whakapapa.

Marketing is concentrated through the multilingual website (FR/EN/DE), events including major freeride competitions, newsletters and organic social; the company carries Swisstainable Level III Leading (highest Swiss tourism sustainability tier), ACT, Reffnet and ISO certifications. The company is governed by a majority-private ownership structure with Jean-Albert Ferrez as Chairman of the Board and reports under fiscal year 2025/2026 with H1 revenue of 79.5 MCHF (+5.3% YoY), H1 net income of 12.6 MCHF and a full-year revenue target of 90.0 MCHF (+5.5%).
