HOW MUCH TIME IT WILL TAKE YOU: 

 

To make the most out of the ski pass, you should spend the whole day there. Ski lifts open at 8:30 and stop at 16:30 so we recommend you to leave early enough from Lausanne. And watch the time once you’re there to be sure to catch the last lift!

Train Lausanne - Villars/Les Diablerets: 1h30

 

WHAT IT IS:

 

Villars is one of the most iconic places in Switzerland, located in the region of Vaud (where Lausanne is too!). It’s a great place to go hiking in summer… but it is even more popular because of its large offer of ski slopes in winter!

 

The same ski pass lets you access three ski resorts: Villars (the largest), Gryon and Les Diablerets (the highest). Take a look at the map here and choose according to your level!

Consult the website before going to check which slopes and lifts are open when you’re going, it can change depending on the weather conditions!

 

Enjoy the snow!

This event can be made sustainable by taking the train and bringing your own lunch ! Be careful not to leave waste on the slopes though ;) #ESNaware

 

HOW TO GET THERE:
