One glance of the Villars piste map shows the ski area to be extensive. The local area provides 100kms of trails but when you add in Les Diablerets Glacier 3000, this adds a further 25kms of pisted skiing between 1300 and 3000m.

Most of the skiing in Villars is through the trees on south facing slopes with only 25% north facing meaning that the snow disappears quickly towards the end of the season. However, Les Diablerets Glacier 3000 is on hand just in case which provides good skiing well in to April.

For intermediate skiers and snow boarders, Villars is paridise with over three-quarters of the pistes being Blue or Red and many rolling right back to the town centre - not quite ski-in, ski-out but very close to it.

For experts, on-piste is limited but the off-piste is anything but. Around Villars there are some short challenging routes but many take the time of touring to Les Diablerets and tackling the challenges on the glacier.

If you buy a 3 day lift pass or longer, this automatically includes the glacier plus free access to the resorts of Leysin and Les Mosses which can be reached by car opening up an additional 100km of pistes.
