Villars-sur-Ollon

Villars sits on a terrace above the Rhône valley looking straight across at the Dents du Midi, which is the view people remember long after the skiing. The slopes are gentler than Verbier's and considerably more forgiving, which makes it the better choice for a first week on skis, for children, and for anyone rebuilding confidence after a bad fall.

It works year round rather than seasonally. In summer the same terrain becomes hiking and climbing country, and the altitude golf course is one of the highest in Europe. Families make up most of what we arrange here, and the sessions are usually planned around two very different levels in one group.
