Choosing well
The family chalet for eight is made for large families and groups of friends: three double bedrooms, two extra beds in the hall, two bathrooms, a sunny terrace and the calm of a residential neighbourhood, while staying five minutes on foot from the sports centre and the baths. It is the chalet rental in Villars-sur-Ollon that lets everyone share meals and evenings without getting in each other's way.
The three-bedroom apartments, all in the village centre, suit a family of six or two couples with children. Each has its own character: the penthouse with its cathedral ceiling, the two old-wood apartments in the same chalet, one of them with a hammam, and the garden-level apartment with a private sauna. The smallest, two bedrooms and two bathrooms for four to five guests, is the closest to the gondola and the slopes.
In every case you will find a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, a washing machine in most properties, wifi and free parking. The details specific to each property, beds, children's equipment, access, are on its booking page.
The village centre (Avenue Centrale, Route des Hôtels) gathers the shops, the restaurants and the departure of the lifts: four of our apartments are there, 100 m or a few minutes on foot from everything. Ideal if you come without a car or with young children.
Towards the sports centre and the baths (Chemin des Râpes), the neighbourhood is residential and quiet, with open mountain views; the village remains five minutes on foot. Our chalet for eight is there.
On the gondola side (Route de la Résidence), direct access to the slopes comes first: our two-bedroom apartment is about 200 m from the departure.
Further out, Chesières and Arveyes extend the village westwards around the international schools, and Gryon links the other side of the ski area. Villars is 1 h 15 from Geneva by car, or by train to Bex then the BVB railway (1 h 20 from Lausanne by public transport), which also climbs to Bretaye.
Winter. The Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets ski area, linked to Glacier 3000, is reached from the village by gondola or by the Bretaye train. The weeks of Christmas, New Year and the February holidays are the most requested: book early for the chalet and the three-bedroom apartments.
Summer. An 18-hole golf course, hikes to the Col de Bretaye and Lac des Chavonnes, mountain biking, paragliding and the aquatic centre: the resort is as lively in July and August as in winter, and a holiday apartment rental in Villars-sur-Ollon then comes at gentler rates, often by the week.
Weekends and exeats. At 1 h 15 from Geneva by car and 1 h 20 from Lausanne by public transport, Villars is a weekend destination all year round. The families of the international schools (Aiglon College in Chesières, Beau Soleil, Les Elfes, Préfleuri) return for every exeat: our central properties are designed for these short, repeated stays.
Chalet or apartment
For eight, the family chalet on Chemin des Râpes: our only whole chalet in Villars, on three floors, with three double bedrooms, two fold-away beds in the hall, two bathrooms and a separate toilet, a sunny terrace and a panoramic balcony. The minimum stay there is five nights; during the Christmas and New Year, February and Easter weeks, stays normally run from Saturday to Saturday.
For six, four three-bedroom apartments on Avenue Centrale and Route des Hôtels: the apartment with hammam (100 m²) and the old-wood chalet apartment (80 m²), in the same chalet; the garden-level apartment with private sauna, 130 m² on one level with three bathrooms, a garden and two parking spaces; and the penthouse under its cathedral ceiling, with covered indoor parking and lifts 100 m away.
For four or five, the two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment on Route de la Résidence, a short walk from the gondola and about 200 m from the slopes, with balcony, terrace and private garage.
These five apartments are let for a minimum of four nights, except during the Christmas and New Year, February and Easter weeks, when stays normally run from Saturday to Saturday; each property's calendar shows the exact rule for your dates. None of our six Villars properties accepts pets, and all are non-smoking indoors.
The areas
Villars-sur-Ollon sits on a natural plateau at 1,300 m, in the municipality of Ollon. Chesières and Arveyes, two villages of the same municipality, extend it: Chesières is the village of Aiglon College, and Arveyes has its own stop on the Bex-Villars railway, three minutes before Villars station.
In practice, the boundary between these villages is hard to see. Our garden-level apartment with sauna, on Avenue Centrale, has an Arveyes postal address, and our two-bedroom apartment on Route de la Résidence a Chesières address, without being any further from the shops or the lifts. The chalet, the penthouse, the hammam apartment and the old-wood chalet apartment have a Villars-sur-Ollon address.
Gryon is a neighbouring municipality, linked to the same ski area: a village of carved chalets that its tourist office describes as a paradise for families, with the Frience recreation area and its natural lake at 1,560 m. La Barboleuse, part of Gryon, is home to the tourist office and the departure of a gondola. The BVB line links Villars and Gryon all year round; until November 2026, buses replace the trains between Bex and Villars during the modernisation works. We have no properties in Gryon or La Barboleuse.
Getting there
From Bex station, the BVB train run by Transports Publics du Chablais (line R74) climbs to Villars-sur-Ollon in around forty minutes (38 minutes in the 2025-2026 winter timetable), stopping at Gryon, Gryon Barboleuse and Arveyes. From Aigle station, TPC buses also run to Villars. According to the tourist office, allow about 1 hour by public transport from Montreux, 1 h 20 from Lausanne and 2 h 05 from Geneva.
Works in 2026: to modernise the line, trains between Bex and Villars are replaced by buses from 16 March until November 2026, according to TPC. Replacement bus timetables are published on bvbinfo.ch.
By car, leave the A9 motorway at the Aigle or Bex/St-Triphon exit, then follow signs for Ollon-Villars. In the resort, shuttle buses run around the village, and for skiers the train between Villars and Gryon and these shuttles are included in a ski pass valid on the day.
Seasons
The Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets ski area has more than 130 km of slopes between 1,200 and 3,000 m, according to the tourist office. From Villars, you reach it by the Bretaye rack railway, up to 1,800 m, the hub of the ski area and an ideal starting point for children and beginners, or by the Roc d'Orsay gondola. At Glacier 3000, the highest point in the canton of Vaud, snow conditions are described as ideal from October to May.
The Bretaye train, a little under twenty minutes from Villars to the pass, also stops at the golf course (Villars-sur-Ollon Golf stop). In winter, the penthouse is 100 m from the lifts and the two-bedroom apartment about 200 m from the slopes; in summer, the garden of the garden-level apartment and the chalet's terrace come into their own.
