It’s Panto Time in Verbier
13th December 2024
The world’s only Alpine pantomime is back, bringing a dose of festive magic to Verbier, Switzerland.
The spectacle is on for three nights only – Friday 13th, Saturday 14th & Sunday 15th of December.
Sleeping Beauty is presented by the Verbier Amateur Dramatics Association.

Set in the whimsical land of Bagnaland, the pantomime follows a delightful cast of characters: a beautiful princess, a charming prince, a hilariously outrageous King and Queen, talking pussycats, glamorous fairies, and even a gaggle of dancing zombies — all with an unexpected Swedish twist.
Audiences can expect a lively show packed with pantomime traditions: slapstick comedy, corny jokes, sing-a-longs, and, of course, lots of audience participation.
And in true Alpine style, cheese takes centre stage in the story, adding a dash of local flavour to the plot.
Rehearsals have been in full flow and one of the co-producers, Steve Sparks, told PlanetSKI that “it’s coming together nicely!”
