Villars-Gryon, set in the heart of the Vaudoises Alps, also called Alps of Lake Geneva Region, offers its
visitors sport, relaxation and culture far from crowds, noise and pollution. At an altitude of 1’300m, on a
natural south facing balcony, all the pleasures of being on holiday await you in a breathtaking panorama
extending from the lake Leman to the Mont Blanc.
In summer more than 300 km of marked paths, 130km of mountain-bike tracks and a 18 holes golf allow
you to discover the magical scenery and unspoilt nature. In winter 77 lifts relaying 220km of pistes are
connecting 4 different ski areas with one only electronic skipass from & to Villars, Gryon, les Diablerets
and famous Glacier 3000 culminating at 10’000 feet above sea level. Villars-Gryon is a ski in ski out
sunny plateau offering both family and challenging but well groomed slopes to its international visitors.
Winter sports wide choice : snowboard, carving-skiing, snowshoeing (for non skiers who want to discover
wild nature in altitude) dog-sledding, sledge, torchlight downhill and in the resort, ice skating, winter
walks, indoor swimming pool, space bowling, fitness, indoor tennis, etc… As 25% of our winter visitors
don’t ski but just want to chill out and contemplate its unique panorama, many sport and cultural activities
are offered to these welcome guests.
