Villars Ski Resort
As one of the closest resorts to Geneva, Villars is the perfect weekend destination, but there’s also more than enough to keep you happy for a full week.
84km of marked pistes and some great tree-lined skiing can be found in Villars, which is located on a sunny plateau just to the south of Lake Geneva. Yes the slopes are low (topping out at only 2120m), but the location – the drive should take around an hour and a half from Geneva Airport – makes this a great weekend or last minute destination. It is no surprise that many Brits have second homes here as few places can rival Villars’ accessibility.
The mountain itself is mainly geared towards beginner and intermediate skiers and boarders – there are no black runs marked on the piste map. Off the slopes, winter walking, tobogganing and even snow mountain biking are popular pastimes.
