As VirtueMart don't provide this hierarchical structure at front-end you have to build your own method. Though at back-end you can use @Jobin's answer. I have implement and tested it for the front-end, it works with ease. Check the answer here

Try this,

If you are doing with module then in your module file(mod_yourmodule.php) add the following codes.

if (!class_exists( 'VmConfig' )) require(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_virtuemart'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'config.php');
$categoryModel = VmModel::getModel('Category');
$cats = $categoryModel->getCategoryTree();//Params $parentId=0, $level = 0, $onlyPublished = true,$keyword = ''
echo "<pre/>";
print_r($cats);

Hope its helps..
