Les Chaux, perfect winter spot for families with young kids – VD
We often go to Villars and Gryon, but we didn’t know about the small family ski area of Les Chaux near Solalex. The Les Chaux gondola lift takes you to the heart of the Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets ski area, the start of some beautiful walks. We did a nice walk and finished at the sledding park. […]
Here is a nice “Plan B” to the sledding park in Les Pléiades on a busy day; Chamby – VD
To all the families who want to bring the kids sledding, but hate the heavy traffic and huge crowds like what we witnessed today, I thought it is wise to share this other location. As you can see in the last photo; today it was a headache to reach the main Parking Les Motalles. I […]

Snowshoeing, hiking and sledding in Les Pléiades; all in one! – VD
Les Pléiades is a small but dynamic ski domaine perched on the hills of the Riviera. It’s particularly attractive for ski beginners, but also for the cross-country skiers, and those snowshoeing, for which you have the choice between 3 different dedicated paths. We’ve done several times the Sentier Lilly; it’s a 5.4km loop to be […]
Winter hiking in Villars – VD
This winter hike has been a classic for us!. Due to its proximity to Lausanne, Villars is a very popular family ski resort and it can get very crowded on a sunny weekend. So we usually don’t go there to ski, but we love the long walk starting at the golf club (need to take […]
Snowtubing in Crans-Montana – VS
