WINTER
Villars / Gryon
The chalet is 200 m from where the piste ends in Gryon / Barboleuse. If you are a skier, you can continue the last 200m on a smaller path.
The lift, 400 m from the cabin, connects one to the 220 km ski terrain Villars / Gryon / Diablerets.
There are also approx. 50 km of beautiful cross country skiing trails, snow shoe routes, one of Switzerland's longest toboggan runs and hiking routes. All in all a winter mecca.
There is a smaller skating rink 200m from the cabin, and there are also ski hire, bakery, tourist information, restaurants and a small supermarket. Otherwise you can go for a walk (about 1 km) down to a really nice authentic mountain village.
Here are several restaurants and smaller shops.
If you want a slightly larger selection of shops and restorations, you can go to Villars-sur-Allon approx. 4 km away. This is a more mouth-watering and touristy mountain village, but still nice. Here you can also take the train in the same ski area as the cabin or you can stay in the town where there is a free ski area for beginners and children and there is even a ski garden.
You can find many more good information and tips on the Villars / Gryon website




Summer
Villars / Gryon is a small paradise in the summer with plenty of opportunities for activities.
There are countless beautiful walks that start right from the cottage's garden. There are mountain bike tours and an 18 hole golf course with magnificent views. There is free access to cable cars, local buses and mountain railways, as well as tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, miniature golf m. Cable car, tennis courts and miniature golf are available 5-10 minutes walk from the cottage.
If you want to get up faster you can walk 400 m to where the cable car starts. From the top you can walk beautiful panoramic walks. There are walks of all levels. It is a very good area with children as you can take the small train or cable car up and avoid the big hikes. From here you can choose paths without wild landing near the path. But if you want bigger challenges, you can also get it. If you choose such tours, check the weather forecast carefully, as some of the routes are not recommended in wet weather. You can always walk past the tourist office, which is 5 min from the cabin, and get advice on tours.
If you take a little down the mountain, there are also many amazing walks to take. The vineyards start before you are down in the Rhône Valley, and there are a myriad of fine little villages where local wine is produced. It is a 30-minute drive to Lake Geneva. Montreux. Vevey and Lausanne are all nice towns to visit. If you arrive late in the summer it is possible to participate in the wine festivals and wine tasting in the villages in the area. There are a host of music festivals throughout the summer, where the Montreux jazz festival is the most famous.
If you're into pure pleasure, there are beautiful thermal baths with water from hot springs.
