The area of Villars-Barboleuse is a chic, traditional Swiss resort, with year-round activities and attractions for tourists and residents. Villars, Barboleuse and Gryon are three linked, unspoilt Swiss villages located high in the tranquil Alpes Vaudoise, enjoying a south aspect, ensuring long sunny days and superb views of the Dents du Midi range and Mont Blanc. There are no concrete high rises, bleak purpose-built resort accommodation or the catered chalet package holiday crowd. Instead, just authentic chalets eclectically arranged on the hillsides, and friendly affordable restaurants with a warm, mountain-style welcome. Families are well catered for in the area, with plenty of restaurants and cafes, as well as bars and a nightclub in Villars for couples and groups. In the summer the stunning mountain scenery offers a wealth of activities. In the winter the pistes cater for skiers of all abilities, and Villars-Barboleuse offers plenty of activities for the non-skier.

The patisserie just down the hill also sells the most delicious things and was an added bonus ! The Mansky Family, UK --- At the chalet, we could want for nothing, we bar-b-qued on the patio and ate by candlelight surrounded by a million+ stars with the gentle sound of cow bells in the distance. Thank you for a wonderful time – we will return ! S. Tatler & family

A wonderful home for our 2 week summer holiday. Lots of walks, bike rides, tennis ... so much to do and see. We would love to come back. The Bannenberg Family, London --- It was great to return to Villars and Barboleuse after all these years. We could do several walks which I remember doing with my brother in my childhood and which I could now share with my own children. We enjoyed showing them the beautiful views and mountains of this region. All our memories came back ... It was just too short !! The weather was great and the chalet was even more than we could dream of. We really hope to come back, maybe in the snow ... Verstreken family, Belguim. ---- Perfect chalet for a delightful week in Villars/Gryon. Three generations had an excellent stay with plenty to do indoors and outdoors. Excellent walks, beautiful cakes from the nearby patisserie and friendly service from La Terrasse (restaurant). All in all, a great week supposedly out of season. P Smith, Switzerland.

Ski: The chalet is located just 100m / 5 min from the ski piste with a very pleasant Blue run down to main Barboleuse telecabine with access to the entire Villars and Les Diablerets ski region.

Half Term Sun

The Littles Norfolk
Review Submitted: June 2, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
We chose Chalet Moonrise for it's panoramic views and well appointed interiors and we were not disappointed. There is something very special about having a morning cup of tea on your terrace gazing at majestic mountains ... and yes if you listen carefully you can hear the distant cowbells. This was our first family visit to Switzerland and we had a really wonderful time - there is so much to see and do in the area and we successfully combined our desire for hiking with the boys desires for fun and adventure (and of course chocolate!). The big surprise for us was how hot and sunny it was - not a cloud in the sky for 5 days and temperatures of almost 30 degrees and of course when the clouds came and we were engulfed the boys thought that was great fun. A thoroughly recommended family holiday and a great place to stay - I'm sure we'll be back.
Owner's Response: Thank you for your comments. We're delighted you all had such a great time and packed so much in. The warm weather in the Alps is a well-kept secret !

Swiss Adventure

Phifra Suffolk
Review Submitted: March 7, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
We have all enjoyed a wonderful week’s break – the first visit to Switzerland for most of us. The chalet has lived up to all its promises – extremely comfortable and the views are simply stunning. The decor and personal touches give a real homely feel. The chalet was spotlessly clean and there was plenty of room to spread out, Every morning I made a point of walking down the hill to get bread from the pattisserie (they also do fantastic cakes and chocolates too!). After a day's sightseeing we all appreciated slumping in front of the TV which offers satellite TV and a DVD machine.
Our visits included Glacier 3000 – a must - and we visited on a day with clear blue skies and 30 degree temperatures! We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were really lucky with the weather. Hope to come back again.

New Year in Luxury Swiss Chalet

Lyn Paul and family Marlow Bucks England
Review Submitted: January 8, 2009 Date of Stay: December 2008
We came out 2 days after Christmas and had the most fantastic time in a this beautifully situated and appointed chalet. It was ideal for our 2 families.
The views were almost unbelievable in the morning when we were above the clouds.
It is such a change to have all the comforts of home. The log fire was a real treat. Everything was thought of and very clearly and concisely explained. We had excellent snow and there were many different skiing areas to explore.
Would hope to come again, maybe in the summer as there seems so much to do in this area.
Thanks for a great holiday.
Lyn Paul & Family.

Swiss bliss

Pates Cambridgeshire
Review Submitted: August 29, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
We enjoyed a wonderful week's holiday (in August) at Chalet Moonrise - a very happy and genuinely memorable experience. The chalet is fabulous, the views stunning and the range of opportunities for various activities and visits far too many to fit into one week - so hopefully we'll be back one day. You will also find the owners extremely helpful. A 5 star rating without question; we have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Chalet Moonrise to others.

Luxury chalet

Sue Cambs Cambridge, UK
Review Submitted: August 27, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
This chalet is a wonderful place to stay. We had a very relaxing week in August with our 3 teenage children. The chalet is of 5 star standard and very comfortable with the most spectacular views out to the mountains. We really didn't want to leave as it is so beautiful. There is also a lot to do in summer time- white water rafting, fabulous walks, glacier walking, paragliding - to name but a few.
I would recommend it highly and we are a very dicserning family when it comes to holidays and places to stay!
