CHALET We have been keen to provide a stylish, but comfortable holiday retreat. The chalet is furnished and equipped to an extremely high standard (eg. Persian rugs and textiles, top quality Sealy mattresses, Hungarian goose down duvets, Egyptian cotton bed linen, etc, etc!). The exceptionally well equipped kitchen will appeal to all keen cooks!
There is a large flat screen TV with UK and European satellite stations, home cinema systems and broadband internet connection, as well as a good selection of books and games for those who wish to relax indoors. An excellent modern cast iron wood burning stove adds to the ambiance of this superb living space. Upper level: The chalet is entered from the front door directly into a spacious tiled hallway with cloakroom off. There is also a "technical" room with internal access to the good size garage with ski and boot storage. The garage has an electric up and over door with remote control and inset service door. Living/Dining: Large glazed double doors lead into the stunning full height living room with oak flooring and massive sliding glass windows that open onto a 2m wide balcony, enjoying amazing panoramic views of the valley below and across to the peaks of the Dents du Midi mountain range. These windows have remotely operated electric blinds. The Dining Area includes a French oak dresser and oak dining table, the latter easily accommodating 10 people, while relaxed seating is provided by two sumptuous 4 seater Italian leather sofas, matching recliner and footstool. Kitchen: The tiled kitchen is open plan and includes oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, and is separated from the main room by an island unit with inset 5 ring hob. There is a generous supply of quality crockery (Royal Doulton), glassware (Schott) and cutlery (Myners). Mezzanine: There is a flight of wooden stairs in the main living room giving access to a large mezzanine floor overlooking the main room and which provides a delightful second seating/sleeping area, comprising two comfortable 41" sofa beds, chest of drawer and writing desk. From the hallway a staircase leads down to the bedrooms and laundry room at garden level. Garden level: Laundry room ("cave") with washing machine, tumble dryer, butler sink, iron and ironing board.

ACTIVITIES In Summer
Walking :
The area is a walker's paradise that will satisfy all degrees of
fitness. Intrepid hikers can walk from the chalet door on some
of the kms of marked trails across to Les Diablerets, or arrange to
meet with those less energetically inclined at the train end station
up at Bretaye. From here there is a pleasant 1.5 hour walk
around Lac de la Chevonne, where a charming lakeside restaurant
offers the chance of rest and refreshment, as well as charming views
that can not be refused! Cycling : The Swiss are extremely keen cyclists (indeed the HQ for the World International Cycling Federation is based in the town of Aigle in the valley below Villars) and you will see cyclists everywhere! Of course off road biking is the real attraction with wonderful trails to suit all levels. Golf : There is an extremely attractive golf course close at hand. Other Activities : Tennis, Fishing, Horse Riding, Mountaineering Paragliding, Rollerblading, 10 Pin Bowling, Swimming.

LOCATION Villars itself is a charming all-year-round resort, occupying a sunny plateau with views to Mont Blanc and is served by a railway that runs from the Rhone valley up to the rop of Bretaye, the heart of the main Villars skiing area. Partly because there are several international schools of renown based in Villars, the town does not close down in summer, as is the case with many ski resorts.
