Villars-sur-Ollon (Switzerland)

Based on 1 reviews

Villars-sur-Ollon in short

  • Height: 1300 metres
  • Charming ski resort
  • Excellent cross-country ski area
  • Beautiful views overlooking the Rhône valley

In Villars-sur-Ollons in 1937 the first ski lift was built to assist a number of local heroes in their frantic efforts to master some ski jumping skills. It paid off, because one of them, Henri Ruchet, managed to jump the then absolute world record of 87 meters. The Ecole Suisse de Ski in Villars dates back to the winter season of 1930/31 so the people here had an early start in the ski tourism business. Villars-sur-Ollon is still an authentic alpine village where chalet-style buildings and the beautiful train station set the scene.

Latest review by Kelly

“Big ski area with wide slopes and good connections. We liked the valley runs in particular. The lifts are a little old, no bubble lifts or heated seats. Food and drink was quite dear.”
