Villars, Switzerland
A picturesque haven for families, elegant Villars is only 1hr 30mins from Geneva and sits on a sunny plateau in the Vaud Alps with views stretching from Lake Geneva to Mont Blanc. While Villars is full of refined luxury, you’ll also find it a low-key alternative to some of the glitzier Swiss resorts.
Although the pistes of Villars are perhaps best suited to novices and intermediates with a good choice of sunny beginners areas and plenty of lovely wide cruising runs, experts can enjoy a handful of black runs and off-piste terrain.
Whist visiting Villars, stay at the stunning Chalet Royalp Hotel & Spa. This hotel sits in a quiet location above the village and has excellent facilities. The beautiful 5-star Villars Palace is also an excellent choice with a central location and superb facilities.
