Le ski autrement à Villars
Au coeur du Chablais vaudois, la station de Villars et ses partenaires offrent aux skieurs un joli domaine skiable. Mais d'autres formes de glisse sont possible, entre biathlon et skijöring.
Des mines de sel de Bex au glacier des Diablerets, les Alpes vaudoises déroulent plus de 125km de pistes entre Villars, Gryon, Les Diablerets. Sur le parcours de golf, au fond des vallons paisibles ou entre les chalets des hameaux, les amateurs de ski peuvent varier les plaisirs. Car tout ne se résume pas au ski alpin: les moniteurs de l'Ecole suisse de ski proposent de découvrir le biathlon, avec un dispositif de carabines laser, ou encore de se laisser tracter au trot ou au galop, par un cheval pour une sensation inédite avec le skijöring. Sans oublier des parcours nordiques pour les amateurs de fond, des sentiers raquettes pour s'élancer dans les champs de poudreuse, des offres de traîneaux à chiens pour s'imaginer dans le grand Nord, des pistes de luge pour s'amuser à tout âge,...
Cependant, Villars est aussi un village dont le coeur est vivant, avec un après-ski festif, une offre gastronomique et hôtelière variée, des établissements proposant des prestations wellness via des spas de grande qualité. Le tout sur un plateau offrant une vue éblouissante sur les sommets du Chablais, les Dents du Midi, le massif du Mont-Blanc,... et une orientation au Sud qui permet de profiter au maximum du soleil.

Villars sur Ollon, Switzerland
Villars sur Ollon, situated at 1300 meters, is an historic alpine village located in the French speaking canton of Vaud in Switzerland. In 1913 the Villars Palace looked majestically over the village and was the center of winter and summer sports. Today, like much of the village, the Palace is undergoing a total renovation. The region is served by the Bex- Villars-Bretaye metre gauge railway. In the winter it brings skiers to the Chamossaire and chaud ronde ski lifts and in the summer it takes hikers to the gateway of les alpes vaudoise. Just driving up the mountain from Ollon to Villars is awe-inspiring.
From 1953 to 1971 the Ollon to Villars hill climb with its every conceivable hairpin turn captured the attention of car racing enthusiasts throughout Europe. Today access around the mountain is very easy.
At the Crazy Moose, a restaurant located at 1700 meters and accessible by the mountain train or by skis in the winter, there are spectacular views of the mountains which compliment the delicious cuisine of the Quebec inspired chef.
Dining around the mountain has some brilliant dishes like risotto with porchini mushrooms, spinach tarte with mashed potatoes and Switzerland never disappoints the sweet tooth with specialties
like meringue with Gruyere double cream and raspberry sauce served at the restaurant of the Golf Club Villars.
Golf in Villars began in 1922 and the 18-hole, par 70 course at 1660 meters with views towards the Mt. Blanc is beautiful and challenging. Even in the summer one can occasionally find snow drifts in the area.
Hiking in Villars is spectacular and there is every possibility from beginners and families to experienced hikers. And for the avid adventurer there are other ways to get down the mountain besides by foot. Soaring over the pine trees and trails gives one a sense of why the opportunities for inspiration in the Swiss alps are limitless.
One of the best hotels in town in the Alpe Fleurie. Its a three star but feels like a four star hotel with an excellent restaurant, cozy rooms and five star views of the ever changing and fascinating Dents du Midi.
In nearby Solalex is a valley surrounded by spectacular mountains - straight out of the book Heidi. Here contented cows graze along the green pastures. And occasionally one might even share with visitors how moo-velous the valley is. Hikes around the valley can reveal towering trees, dramatic rocks and refreshing waterfalls and rivers. Easy to explore on foot, by bike and reachable even by car.
One of the premier international boarding schools, Aiglon College, is located in nearby Chesieres. Aiglon’s campus is a virtual village with dozens of buildings providing housing, extensive academic facilities and unlimited sports. The essence of Switzerland’s international community is evident with Aiglon’s global student body. Villars captures the magic of Switzerland in every season.
