Villars-sur-Ollon Piste Map and Overview
Set high above the Rhône Valley, Villars-sur-Ollon, normally referred to simply as Villars, is one of Switzerland’s most scenic and versatile ski destinations. The resort forms part of a wide, interconnected ski area that stretches toward Les Diablerets, offering a fantastic mix of cruisy blues, long red runs, and more technical descents higher up the mountain. On clear days, the views toward Lake Geneva and the surrounding Alpine peaks are simply breathtaking. The terrain variety makes it ideal for skiers and snowboarders who enjoy carving wide-open pistes while still having access to more challenging lines.
What really elevates the experience here is the access to high-altitude skiing on the glacier at Glacier 3000. This ensures excellent snow reliability and extends the ski season well beyond many other resorts. The lift infrastructure is modern and efficient, and the atmosphere remains welcoming and relaxed despite the expansive terrain. Whether you’re here for smooth family skiing, scenic intermediates, or snow-sure glacier runs, Villars-sur-Ollon delivers a balanced and memorable mountain experience.
