Villars
The information provided is purely advisory and was correct at the time of posting
but cannot be guaranteed and should not be relied upon without further corroboration.
Linked to Les Diablerets and its glacier in 1997, Villars' signature feature is its mountain
railway, which winds up the valley from Bex and stops at Bretaye. Due to its lower altitude
and south-facing location, Villars can be in trouble if there isn't much snow. This problem
has been partially defeated by the recent introduction of snowmakers. Most of the skiing
favours beginners and intermediates.
For boarders there are 2 local boarding parks. The
glacier has some very good off-piste. Investing in a 'Glacier – Alpes Vaudoises' pass
allows you to ski on over 500km of pistes, including Gstaad and Chateau d'Oex. The on-site
ski school is more than adequate and childcare is comprehensive for all ages. The town
itself is more modern than Les Diablerets, but still fairly attractive. There are some
decent mountain restaurants, with more local speciality venues in town. There are also
several good bars, a couple of clubs and lots of off-snow activities. As a result, Villars
is a relaxing, relatively quiet family resort, with ample skiing for those of lower
abilities.
