Villas in Gryon
Gryon suits skiers and summer walkers who want a village base on the Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets slopes, on the railway up from Bex. Most homes have a fireplace and none has a pool. Geneva airport is nearly two hours away by car, and the gondola leaves from La Barboleuse rather than the old village.

About Gryon
Gryon sits on the Bex-Villars-Bretaye rack railway, which runs from Bex station through the village to the Col de Bretaye. Its own ski sector, joined to the Villars side at La Rasse, tops out just under 2,000 metres, with an older gondola from La Barboleuse to Les Chaux and a long chairlift from Sodoleuvre. La Barboleuse, some way from the old village centre, is the heart of the resort. Neighbouring Villars is a chalet village on a sunny plateau at about 1,300 metres. The homes are grouped close together, sleep around five, and most have a fireplace.
