Skiing in Villars

Villars itself is an ideal beginners resort, with 125km of immaculately groomed pistes, sunny skies and beautiful scenery. Sitting at a height of 1,300m, the fairly low altitude and south-facing position of the slopes sometimes result in patchy snow cover, but the resort has invested in snow-making facilities to compensate. Over half of the 67 trails are rated as easy, and the nursery slopes are located at village level, with 2 ski schools offering expert tuition. From the village, a mountain railway ascends up to Bretaye, at 1,800m, treating skiers to a wonderfully scenic 20 minute trip

Villars is a popular resort with the Swiss, and its’ close proximity to Geneva makes it easily accessible and an ideal location for a short break or skiing weekend.

Villars offers several good bars, tow clubs and lots of off the snow activities. As a result, Villars is a relaxing, relatively quiet family resort, with ample skiing for those of lower abilities.
