Book now to secure your access to the Academy masterclasses
Each summer, the most promising young artists from around the world and the great masters of classical music come together for the Verbier Festival Academy’s masterclasses. These sessions are highly popular, and seating capacity is limited. Although admission is free, advance booking is strongly recommended.

cancellations and waiting list
If you know you will not be using a reserved ticket, please return it to the Festival Ticket Office as soon as possible. This allows another festivalgoer the chance to attend and helps us manage capacity effectively. For fully booked sessions, a waiting list is available. You will be notified if additional seats become available and will receive daily updates about Academy events.
entry and timing
Entry is guaranteed for ticketholders only until 10 minutes after the start of each session. After this time, any unclaimed seats will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. To minimise disruption, entry and exit are permitted only at suitable moments during each session.
early access
Friends of the Verbier Festival enjoy exclusive access to ticket reservations for two weeks before sales open to the general public. There is, however, no priority entry or seating in the masterclass venues.
language
All masterclasses are held in English.
