ranging from the main ski start at Bretayes, to the magnificent
glacier skiing at Les Diablerets and something for everyone in-between!
NIGHT LIFE
Apres-ski

with music and rock bands.
Aprés-ski is excellent in VILLARS. It ranges from
quiet informal cafes to lively bars with music and rock bands. There
are bars for every taste, and discotheques with dancing until dawn,
if you have the energy! Discotheques are free entry most nights,
and they and the main bars offer a number of theme nights as well.
Drinks prices are very good value for a top ski resort (only about
£2 for a pint) and mountain restaurants are very reasonably priced.
Restaurants vary from traditional pizzas from about £6, to American,
Mexican, Chinese and of course the Swiss specialities. All food
is of a very high quality.
