About Villars
Villars is a gracious Swiss resort in the Alpes Vaudoises at 1,300m, with a south-facing position above the Rhône valley that gives it exceptional sunshine and views across to the Mont Blanc massif. Its 125km of piste — shared with Gryon and Les Diablerets on the Alpes Vaudoises lift pass — are predominantly intermediate-friendly, with wide open cruising runs and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it a natural choice for families with younger children and mixed-ability groups. A charming village centre with traditional hotels, good Swiss restaurants, and a mountain railway connecting to the valley floor at Aigle adds to its appeal as a non-pressured alternative to the larger Swiss resorts.
