Skiing information
The chalet is located just 100m / a 5 min walk from an extremely pleasant blue run down to the Barboleuse telecabin – great for warming up ! At the end of the day, snow permitting, you can ski back to the chalet.
Villars benefits from being surrounded by Meadowland and hence does not require a large snow covering to be ski-able throughout the season from December to April.
The two linked areas of Villars Gryon & Barboleuse have 220km of marked ski runs, including the Les Diablerets Glacier, with altitude ranging from 1200m – 3000m
The pistes are split: 30% beginner, 60% intermediate 10% advanced, with wide, well-groomed, varied pistes with some of the most spectacular scenery you will ever see.
Enthusiasts wanting to be challenged can try the glacier at Les Diablerets, about 20km / 13 miles from Villars which also has some excellent off-piste areas.
Investing in a 'Glacier – Alpes Vaudoises' pass allows you to ski on over 500km of pistes, including Gstaad and Chateau d'Oex. In all there are four glaciers in the area available for heli-skiing for the more adventurous.
Snowboarders can enjoy the magnificent snowpark on the Chaux-Ronde trail.
For those staying for longer durations and wishing to try new resorts, Villars benefits from having 10 world class ski resorts within an hour’s journey.
