Villars
Villars
Located on a sunny, south-west facing plateau above the Rhone, Villars has been a famous health resort for many years, with visitors arriving by rail in large numbers since the start of the twentieth century. The village's importance was secured with the decision to stop the Orient Express in the area en route through the Simplon Pass in to Italy. Today the resort continues to stress both its family-friendly skiing credentials and its decision not to do battle to be the best in any one area, but instead to endeavour to offer its guests the highest standards in all the aspects which make up a wonderful holiday. For Villars that means good quality, good service and good value in accommodation, resort facilities, and on the slopes. Marketed with its smaller neighbour, the village of Gryon, Villars also has an unusual reputation - as a centre of educational excellence - there are no less than five establishments offering courses in languages, sports and all other academic disciplines.
