La Griotte is located in the hearth of the Swiss Alps. Ideally located for all outside activities such as skiing, hiking, mountain biking, golfing, etc. A charming authentic mountain chalet that dates back to 1850, it has kept its old charm while having been updated to today’s comfort. Centrally located in Chesierès, the old part of Villars, with all commodities in walking distance: restaurants, stores, ski rentals. The rooms have high quality beds and mattresses. The kitchen has been kept in old retro style, updated with all equipment of today where you can cook your meals. All bathrooms have been renovated over the last years. A living room with TV, DVD, films, games and books is at your disposal. Ski room and storage for bikes and motor bikes. Public free parking just outside the chalet. The chalet offers a family atmosphere with the common kitchen and living room. We please ask you to consider other guests and be quiet after 23 hrs. Easy access with bus stop across the street, where the free shuttle bus in the winter, takes you to the ski lift Roc d’Orsay, center of Villars and train station for the mountain train to Bretaye.
