Boulangerie de Croquignoles: Verbier, Switzerland

Verbier is that rare place in which travelers exercise and party in equal measure. A day of off-piste skiing isn’t complete without a rich raclette supper, drinking and dancing. Crowning it all is one phenomenal secret address, located just outside the town square: Boulangerie de Croquignoles. The bakers begin their morning just as weekenders are ending their night. Knock on the window and a hand will appear, bearing a hot croissant in exchange for about $5. A most symbiotic relationship! The macaroons are also worth the trip. Route des Creux 22; verbier.ch.
