Villars ski holiday chalets, hotels, apartments and accommodation for ski, snowboard and summer activity breaks in Switzerland

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> <h1 align="left">Villars - ski holidays and summer stays in the Swiss Alpes Vaudoise </h1> <p>Villars, situated on a natural south facinge balcony in the heart of the Alpes Vaudoises, is a great holiday base for both winter and summer.</p> <p>At an altitude of 1300 m, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views extending from Lake Geneva to Mont-Blanc. It was one of the first resorts to attract British skiers in the 1960's, set in one of the few Swiss cantons which allowed foreginers to buy property.</p> <p>The ski area is shared with Les Diablerets, a large village with links up to a glacier at 3000m. </p> <p>In summer, there are over 300 km of marked hiking trails and 150 km of mountain bike trails, allowing you to explore the countryside and natural beauty of the area. Three high-altitude lakes and numerous alpine farms (serving breakfast cooked on wood fires and demonstrating cheese making) offer a unique experience to summer hikers. There is also a scenic 18 hole golf course at 1600m.</p> <p>Villars' ski area incorporates the two smaller areas of Villars/Bretaye and Gryon and is also linked via the route over Le Meilleret with Les Diablerets. Altogether, this creates a skiing arena with 77 lifts and 220 km of ski slopes. In addition there are four snowparks, a snow kindergarten, 44 km of cross-country skiing trails, sledging runs and numerous winter walking routes – not to mention a lively après-ski scene. Those in need of relaxation can visit the amenities and wellness centres at the thermal baths in Lavey. </p> <h1> </h1> <p>Find apartments and hotels using our <a href="../Search/search.asp">quick search</a> . </p> <p>Other areas in the Switzerland include <a href="../categories/zermatt.htm">Zermatt</a>, <a href="../categories/verbier.htm">Verbier</a>, <a href="../categories/saas_fee.htm">Saas Fee </a>, <a href="../categories/cransmontana.htm">Crans Montana </a> and <a href="../categories/klosters.htm">Klosters </a></p> <p> </p>  <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="50%" align="center"> <tr> <td align="center"> <a href="/index.htm" target="_top">Home Page<br> </a><img src="/menuimages/shim.gif" width="30" height="20"></td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" height="33"> <a href="/index.htm" target="_top"><img src="/menuimages/smtitle.gif" width="290" height="30" border="0"></a></td> </tr> </table> <p> </p> </body>
