The Swiss Alps / Vaud/Lake Geneva/Swiss Alps region
At an altitude of 1500 metres, Alpe des Chaux is an exclusive development surrounded by spectacular scenery. It is connected by its own lift, only 150 metres from the apartment, to a vast ski area encompassing Barboleuse, Villars, Les Diablerets and the Glacier 3000. It is also within easy reach of other resorts such as Leysin, Verbier and the Portes du Soleil ski circuit. In addition to the 160 km of downhill slopes, there is access to cross country skiing, ice skating and tobogganing. In summer there are miles of wonderful trails for both walkers and cyclists, tennis courts, swimming pool and a fabulous golf course with views to Mont Blanc. There are several English speaking and child friendly ski schools which can be booked prior to arrival in the resort and lift passes are free for under 9s.
Villars, Switzerland / Alpes des Chaux area
Villars is a beautiful Swiss village with friendly restaurants and bars and a mountain train which winds its way up to the ski station at Brettaye. It can also boast a brand new 8 man high speed telecabine which climbs to the peak of Roc d'Orsay in record time. Even closer to the apartment is the small village of Barboleuse with a second telecabine, shops, restaurants and a supermarket. Alpe des Chaux itself has two good restaurants, a ski hire shop and in high season a small shop selling bread and essentials. There is also a toboggan run and children's playground. Further afield you will find white water rafting, a tree climbing adventure park, Bex salt mines, Aqua Parc, Lake Geneva and the spa at Bains de Levay. Chamonix and Mont Blanc are also within easy reach for a day out.
How to get there
The nearest airport is Geneva at 90 minutes drive which is well served by Easyjet, British Airways, BMI and Swiss. Also within two and a half hours drive are airports at Lyon, Basel, Zurich and even Turin. It is also possible to take a train as far as Barboleuse, which is only 5 minutes by taxi to the apartment. It is about an eight hour drive from Calais.
