Welcome to Gryon

Gryon, Schweiz
Gryon-Villars is located on a sunny plateau just above the Rhone Valley. It is a relaxed ski resort offering great terrain and a wonderful family-friendly atmosphere. It was long known as a health resort since the turn of the twentieth century. Today it offers a peaceful base, with modern facilities and magnificent scenery for a summer as well as a winter holiday. Gryon Switzerland is indeed one of the best resorts in the Alps for families, with many children’s facilities and activities. That means that the nights are fairly quiet despite some good restaurants and bars.There is a public bus and local train system 300 meters from the chalet.
