To enjoy the pleasures of the snow to the full, you\u2019re amongst the first to get a gondola. With 125 km of ski runs between 1,300 and 3,000 m, the Villars-Gryon-Diablerets-Glacier 3000 ski area is massive. And if you wish to extend your outing, you can link up with the Gstaad Mountain Rides area. Over 400 km of ski runs and white gold for the entire family.<\/p>\n<div class=\"h1\">12 noon<\/div>\n<p>A well-deserved lunch break with a big question mark: which of the 17 mountain restaurants \u2013 including ten between Villars and Gryon \u2013 should you pick to have a bite? Revel in local fare and breathtaking views as you soak up the moment surrounded by sun and snow.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-56831 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/lionel-meylan.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/restaurants_grizzly-lionel-meylan-vevey-768x1024..jpg\" alt=\"restaurants_grizzly-lionel-meylan-vevey\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"h1\">1.30 pm<\/div>\n<p>Villars-Gryon reveals its many facets. Whether you are alone, with friends or with the family, the resort keeps its promise to offer its guests a large number of activities. Bobsledding down a 1500 m slope in Villars with a 200 m difference in height, with access by train at Col de Soud? Or an hour of relaxing and telebob at Frience, next to Gryon? Tennis, skating, bowling or movies are all good options in the event of bad weather\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-56834 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/lionel-meylan.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/villars-gryon-luge-lionel-meylan-vevey-1024x768..jpg\" alt=\"villars-gryon-luge-lionel-meylan-vevey\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"h1\">4 pm<\/div>\n<p>You feel as if you are crossing the wild stretches of the Far North, yet you are still in Gryon. Drawn by a team of sled-dogs, you slide across the snow while admiring the stunning surrounding scenery and learning to guide the dogs as well as to control the speed and the balance of the sled. An unforgettable experience in the tracks of the heroes of Jack London novels.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-56836 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/lionel-meylan.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/villars-gryon-chiens-de-traineau-lionel-meylan-vevey-1024x768..jpg\" alt=\"villars-gryon-chiens-de-traineau-lionel-meylan-vevey\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"h1\">8.30 pm<\/div>\n<p>Back to Villars-sur-Ollon and your final destination for the day: the Chalet RoyAlp Hotel &#038; Spa.
