About Alpe des Chaux
Alpe des Chaux is a high part of the commune of Gryon, linked to the village by a gondola since 1956. Les Chaux sits on the Gryon side of the Villars-Gryon ski area, which is smaller and a little lower than the Villars side, with a top point of 1,987 m. The old four-seat gondola climbs from La Barboleuse. Restaurant des Chaux, next to the slopes and the Gryon ski school, has a terrace facing the Dents du Midi and Mont Blanc. The homes are grouped closely together up here, so this is a base for the slopes rather than a village. Gryon itself sits lower down on a narrow terrace at about 1,110 m.
Is Alpe des Chaux right for you?
- Best for
- Skiers who want quiet slopes and big mountain views
