Murals in Verbier
Verbier sits at around 1,500 metres altitude, on a south-facing terrace in Valais, facing the Grand Combin massif. The village retains the ruins of its 13th-century castle and is known today for its panoramic chalets and its summer classical music festival. In Verbier, Giulia paints the walls of private chalets and residences.
What Giulia brings to Verbier. Giulia is a painter, trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She exhibits her paintings in art galleries and also paints on walls. Corriere della Sera, Domus and Sky Arte have covered her work, and her mural of more than twenty metres dedicated to Gaber and Jannacci stands in Milan. The wall is her favourite canvas because it truly becomes part of a place, a unique work made to tell your story.
What Giulia brings to Verbier
The first skiers reached Verbier in 1915, climbing on foot; the first hotel opened in the early 1930s, and in 1950 Téléverbier was founded with the Médran chairlift, which opened the slopes and transformed the village. In the chapel of the hamlet, the stained glass made at the Simon-Marq workshops to designs by Cecilia Bozzoli tells the story of mountain rescue; at Le Châble, the Musée de Bagnes occupies the old parish house, with walls dating back to the early thirteenth century.
Verbier is therefore a village young as a resort and old as a valley, where new chalets look for a link with the dark-timbered ones. Giulia Dal Bon paints there with a brush, in the chalets, hotels, spas and restaurants, using odourless acrylic colours indoors: the place stays open while she works. Prestige rate from 400 CHF per sqm, free quote within 48 hours.
Giulia also paints live in Verbier. For a mountain wedding, a chalet evening or a company retreat, she sets up her easel and the painting takes shape in front of your guests, signed and taken home the same evening. From 950 € for a wedding, from 900 € for a company evening, from 400 € for a performance at a concert. See live painting →
Your questions, before commissioning
A photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and the idea you have in mind are enough to receive a quote.
How much does a mural cost in Verbier?

How do I get a mural painted in my home in Verbier?
Write to Giulia Dal Bon on WhatsApp or by email, even if the idea is still vague: she replies within 48 hours. Send her a photo of the wall to be painted, she draws a sketch straight onto your photo, you tell her what you think, and the first two sketches are free. Once the sketch is approved, she sends you the quote, from 400 CHF per sqm in Verbier, and sets the date with you. She then comes and paints the mural at your place in Verbier, by brush, and the place stays open while she works.
What does the price of a mural in Verbier include?
The square-metre price Giulia Dal Bon quotes includes the paint and materials, the first two sketches and the protective varnish as a finish. While she paints, you tell her what you think, and she adjusts. Added to the quote, when needed, are the scaffolding for a facade and travel costs, agreed together. The quote is free and arrives within 48 hours; a deposit of about 100 € for materials confirms the date, and the balance is settled at the end.
I’d like a mural or a painting on a wall of my home in Verbier, who should I contact?
Giulia Dal Bon, a painter trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan. She paints murals by brush in homes, bedrooms, bathrooms, on terraces, pool walls and facades, and travels in Verbier as she does across Europe. Send her a photo of the wall, its approximate dimensions and your idea, however loose: she replies within 48 hours with a quote and a first proposal. The first two sketches are free. The questions to ask before entrusting a wall in Verbier are gathered in the guide Who to hire to have a wall painted.
Can I see a design before commissioning the mural?
Always. You receive a sketch set on a photo of your own wall, to scale, together with the quote. The first two sketches are free: Giulia shows the work in progress, you give your opinion, and she adjusts. You confirm when you are ready.
Will a mural damage the wall?
The paint goes onto the plaster already in place. In most cases a dusting down is all that is needed before starting. If the surface has cracks or rising damp, Giulia points it out before quoting and proposes the preparation required. Indoors she uses an odourless acrylic: a child’s bedroom in use or a restaurant that stays open can both be painted. An acrylic mural can later be painted over like any wall paint, if you change your mind in ten years.
When is the best time to paint a mural in Verbier?
All year round. Indoors the odourless acrylic lets the room stay in use while she works, in January as in July. Outdoors she needs a dry wall and a mild temperature. Giulia sets the date with you when she quotes, within 48 hours, and gives plenty of notice if the schedule moves.
Can a view of Verbier be painted on a wall?
Yes. Three or four landmarks are enough to recognise it. The south-facing terrace, the Grand Combin massif opposite, the dark timber chalets and the larches on the slope. Giulia Dal Bon paints the scene with a brush, at the scale of the wall: 400 CHF per sqm as a line drawing, 600 CHF fully painted. Free quote within 48 hours.
What subject works well for a mural in Verbier?
In Verbier, panoramic chalets lend themselves to alpine botanical motifs, summit landscapes or a trompe l’oeil that plays with wood and stone. Everything is painted with a brush, in odourless acrylic.
What is the difference between a hand-painted mural and spray-painted graffiti?
A graffiti artist works with spray cans, and the line is fast and graphic. Giulia Dal Bon paints with a brush: the layers go on one after another, which allows gradients, fine detail and trompe l’oeil. A mural in Verbier becomes a painting made directly on the wall, by hand. While she works, people take the time to watch and take photos.
What do you call an artist who paints on walls?
A mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist or a decorative painter, and the art itself is called mural painting or wall art. Giulia Dal Bon comes from painting: trained at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts in Milan, she exhibits her paintings in art galleries and paints commissioned murals with a brush. To have one painted, send her a photo of your wall: free quote within 48 hours.
Does a mural hold up outdoors in Verbier?
Yes, with surface preparation suited to the mountain climate. Outdoors, Giulia paints all year round, on a dry wall and in mild weather.
Do I need permission to paint a facade in Verbier?
An interior wall can be painted freely. For a facade visible from the street, you generally need the owner’s or building association’s agreement, and a notice to the municipality if the building sits in a protected zone. Giulia explains the process before starting.
How long does it take to paint a mural?
It depends on the surface, the level of detail and how easy the wall is to reach. Giulia gives the timing with the quote, within 48 hours, and gives plenty of notice if the schedule moves. The place keeps running while she works: the acrylic is odourless.
How long does a mural last?
An acrylic mural by Giulia Dal Bon lasts a lifetime indoors: the paint becomes part of the plaster and lives as long as the wall. Outdoors, quartz paint is made for facades, and an anti-salt or anti-pollution varnish extends it further. And if one day you want a change, it can be painted over like any wall paint.

Where Giulia works in Verbier
In Verbier, whether it is an apartment or a chalet, Giulia paints on an interior wall : the living room, the bedroom and the kitchen. She also paints the bathroom, the entrance, the hallway and the staircase. A ceiling is painted the same way, from the scaffold. Outside, on the exterior facade, she works in quartz paint. A mobile panel is painted separately, and moves with you.
In a restaurant or a café in Verbier, the room stays open while she paints: the acrylic is odourless. In a boutique, the painted window is seen from the street, stays painted after closing. In a hotel, the painted wall gives each room its own subject.
She moves from one subject to the next, from mountain landscape to reproduction of an artwork, through alpine botanical motifs, sky ceiling, perspective trompe l’oeil, motifs tied to wood, stone and figures.
Possible subjects in Verbier: the dark timber chalets and the larches on the slope, the south-facing terrace, the Grand Combin massif opposite. And anywhere, a trompe-l’oeil window, botanicals and a painted sky find their place.
The craft goes by several names, and each of them is right about something. Mural and wall mural speak of the wall, wall decoration and mural decoration speak of the room, decorative painting speaks of the gesture, trompe-l’oeil speaks of the effect. A hand-painted wall, a drawing on a wall, a painting made directly on the wall: still the same thing. In Verbier, it is called a mural artist, a muralist, a wall artist, a decorative painter.
Verbier sits at around 1,500 metres altitude in Valais, facing the Grand Combin massif, and retains the ruins of a 13th-century castle.
Giulia also travels throughout Valais.
