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.

Local activities swimming, tennis, walking, sailing, cycling, fishing, horse riding, ski, golf, mountain biking, mountaineering, paragliding, roller blading

GUEST BOOK

Une maison magnifique! What more could one wish for than luxury, quality and terrific views from a superb Swiss chalet. Every conceivable wish is catered for in what we can only describe as a 5 star rating. If you want views, skiing and real Switzerland then Chalet Moonrise will not disappoint. Steve, Linda and Family, Cornwall -- We are very sad to leave this beautiful place, where we have spent a wonderful 11 days with our children. Thanks Chalet Moonrise ! Family Eganyan, Moscow, Russia -- A wonderful area which we’d never visited but hopefully one day we will come back. 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. Teitler & family

Peace, tranquillity and incredible mountain views – life will never be the same again ! Thanks for a wonderful stay in Switzerland. Mark S. and family. --- Wonderful chalet, wonderful welcome. A memorable Christmas. Would highly recommend Chalet Moonrise to family & friends. The Higgins Family, Jersey --- The most amazing chalet ! It's been like coming to a warm and friendly home - so comfortable and accommodating - every detail is thought of. Thank you so much for a beautiful experience. Paul Lakin & Friends, UK. ------ A truly wonderful holiday, much enjoyed by all. What a superb location and beautiful chalet. The whole thing was way beyond our expectations. De Graff party, Pembrokeshire, UK --- We had a superb time and the chalet was welcoming and cosy. Being here, in this superb chalet, in such perfect surroundings was indeed a great privilege and joy. We hope to be back again soon ! Deborah, Ray & Boys, Eire.

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.

Review Submitted: December 06, 2007, Date of stay: December, 2007

We spent the most amazing weekend at Chalet Moonrise. It was the most perfect location to celebrate a special birthday. The weather was perfect (40 degrees C) so we spent the afternoon at Les Bains des Lavey (Spa & Pools). And the next afternoon took the cable car up to the Glacier 3000 where we trekked across the glacier and then took a husky ride across the snow – how magical is that in July ! Back 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. Teitler & family
