Hint

Intro

Villars-sur-Ollon lies at an altitude of 1300 m on a sunny south-facing terrace overlooking the Rhone Valley. The village in the heart of the Vaud Alps subtly combines modernity with the charm of a mountain resort surrounded by beautiful nature.

Description

The resort is around 60 km from Lausanne and 120 km from Geneva airport. It is therefore highly appreciated for its proximity to the major cities of the Lake Geneva region.

The Bex - Villars - Bretaye train line and the various Chablais public transport bus routes make it an easily accessible vacation destination.

From charming mountain establishments to historic luxury hotels, the resort offers a wide range of holiday possibilities. The surrounding nature makes it an ideal place to practice a variety of sports in all seasons.

Winter

With the arrival of the first snowflakes, winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, telemark skiing, tobogganing, ski touring, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing or snow hiking, there's something for everyone!
In fact, the 44 facilities and 135 km of pistes in the Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets and Glacier 3000 ski areas (reachable by shuttle from Les Diablerets) are as popular with families as they are with good skiers. The Bretaye sector (Villars) can be reached by gondola or cogwheel train. Snowparks, snow gardens, toboggan runs and free beginners' slopes complete the range of winter activities.
A variety of snowshoe trails, ski touring and cross-country skiing itineraries will suit those in search of tranquillity in the resort's exceptional scenery. Finally, to reward sporting exploits, there's nothing like the many après-skis on offer in the resort and on the slopes!

Summer

Summer is the season for outdoor sports such as golf, hiking, paragliding and cycling of all kinds. Villars is in the immediate vicinity of climbing and Via Ferrata sites. Mountain lakes and restaurants are within easy reach on foot or by public transport, thanks to 58km of marked trails and the cog railway. Chairlifts are partially open during the summer season, offering easy access to the highest peaks. What's more, the mountains can also be skied downhill with the Mountain Carts and Trottin'herbe.
The Villars alpine golf course is set in the heart of the mountains at 1,600 m altitude. Its 18-hole, par 69, 5,288m-long course is sure to delight golfers thanks to its south-facing aspect, with a privileged view of Mont Blanc to the sound of cowbells.
The two sports centers, in operation all year round, offer a wide range of activities for visitors in all weathers: tennis, paddle tennis, squash, boulder climbing, swimming pool and slides, skating rink, bowling alley, arcade games and billiards. For adults and young people aged 16 and over, the Maison des Sports offers a two-storey wellness center with heated outdoor pool, as well as a brand-new 360° view fitness center.

Family

As a guest of Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets, you'll enjoy free admission and discounts on many activities with your Welcome Card. In winter and summer alike, children up to the age of 6 ride for free in and around the ski area.
The free, fun treasure hunts are also very popular with families. These itineraries allow youngsters to discover our region in a fun and playful way.
