If your idea of perfect ski holidays involves a good selection of slopes, excellent restaurants, spectacular views and the opportunity to get away from the crowds, the Swiss village of Villars may be your ideal destination. Villars has everything you need to enjoy a skiing trip, but its upmarket nature and quiet atmosphere means your break will be very different to one you may take in some of the high-profile Alpine resorts that are packed throughout the season. The village is renowned as one of the most stylish in the Vaud canton - something that has tempted racing drivers and politicians to buy lavish homes there. You can also enjoy the opulent feel of Villars during your holiday, as it has a fine selection of luxury ski chalets available to rent. Many are in the perfect location at the bottom of the slopes, allowing you to ski all the way to the front door of your holiday accommodation at the end of a day of thrills and spills on the mountains. There are more than 100km of pistes in the area, so you are sure to find something suitable for your ability level, whether you are a beginner who wants to start off on the nursery slopes or a regular skier ready to tackle the black runs. If you have the right amount of experience, there are also lots of opportunities for off-piste skiing. And if you want to try something a little different, Villars has two parks for snowboarding and freestyle skiing, as well as plenty of routes for cross-country skiing. The fact the village is not one of the best-known ski resorts in the Alps means you will find plenty of room on the slopes, but it is once you have taken your skis off that you will really notice the difference. Villars has a small selection of quiet bars and pubs, together with a host of restaurants to choose from. Whether you are looking for something quick to eat or a genuine fine dining experience, you are sure to find what you want. And your meal is likely to be memorable for more than just the food. Villars is located about 1,300m above sea level in the Alps, meaning you will be able to enjoy spectacular views of Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva as you eat.
