Situated at an altitude of 1300m, on a sunny south-facing terrace, the holiday resort of Villars-sur-Ollon in the heart of the Vaud Alps enjoys breathtaking views from Lake Geneva to Mont Blanc.
Villars offers an international ambience, with guests of all ages – there are a number of exclusive private schools located here. The International Schools in Villars and Gryon enjoy an excellent reputation, which has made the resort become a privileged hub for quality education for children all around the world. Gryon is located a little lower down, on the more easterly side of the valley. Together, they make up the holiday destination of Villars-Gryon.
The Villars-Gryon resort area has carefully protected its village ambience, despite strong tourism development, thanks largely to building codes and policies intended to maintain architectural unity. Old ancestral chalets sit alongside recent constructions in wood, all of which preserves a harmony that blends perfectly into the natural setting.
