A thoroughly beautiful chalet in a charming spot with easy access to the village, piste and broader mountain experiences. So very peaceful & tranquil, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and Richard is a delight to discuss the chalet and area with. So glad we found you!
You go up a very narrow and windy road for a while until you encounter a winter paradise. The views of the mountains and snow covered trees are simply spectacular. The chalet is spacious and clean. The large kitchen has everything you need for a week of any sort of cooking. Rooms are large and each has it’s own bathroom. Baths are basic European style tubs. The owner is bery friendly, there are delicious restaurants nearby and the active town of Villars is nearby. This chalet is perfect for a family or group of friends. The drive up is the only small inconvenience as it is windy and narrow and takes some getting used to.However it is worth it for the views. I would recommend this chalet!

The perfect chalet for our holiday!
This is a very special chalet and we are thrilled to have found it and spent our winter holidays here. We couldn't believe the views on arrival - the chalet is South facing with panoramic views. The chalet is warm and spacious and the owners have decorated it very tastefully in a traditional and tasteful style. There is an enormous sitting / living room with a lovely open fire and plenty of room for all of us (there were 8 in our party including children). The kitchen and dining room are beautiful and we felt so at home in the chalet that we chose to eat in most nights. The children enjoyed playing in the garden and there were toys / games in the cupboard that the owners had kindly left. Every day we walked up to the piste (a short walk 2 minute walk behind the chalet) and we skied down to Barbelousaz where we took the telecabine up to the main ski domaine. At the end of the day we managed to ski home almost to the back door! My mother who doesn't ski took the train up from Villars every day and one day took the telecabine from Barbelousaz and met us all for lunch which worked very well. There is a very good little supermarket just down the hill (about 1km) and we managed to get most of our provisions there. The owners suggested some lovely restaurants which we visited for lunch / supper. We are already planning our next holiday back. We are so happy to have discovered this very special place.
It’s our second time at Le Petit Chalet, and this time was even better - we had a wonderful stay with all the family if we can, we will for sure repeat again!
Nous avons adoré notre séjour au petit Chalet, il est plus spacieux qu'il n'en a l'air sur les photos, et très confortable, avec une sdb par chambre.
De plus la vue depuis le Chalet est sublime, et Barboleuse a tout ce qu'il faut sans devoir se déplacer à Villars. On a fait du ski-in ce qui était aussi génial.
Le propriétaire a vraiment tout fait pour que nous nous sentions à l'aise, nous nous sommes sentis comme chez des amis proches.
Je recommande vivement. Merci encore.
We had an excellent time at Le Petit Chalet with all the family

Fabulous Family fun in the snow and sun
Based in the brilliant, family ski resort of Villars / Gryon - This is a pretty Swiss chalet in a great location and it has fabulous views of the mountains - quite breathtaking. The skiing was great for all the family. From ski-school for our children to good pistes to suit the adults and more adventurous sportsman.
The interior is cosy and well maintained with good sized bedrooms, en-suite bathrooms and a great size sitting room with fire. The kitchen is very well equipped and we were able to ski home to the chalet's front door on a number of occasions. We liked the little village at the bottom of the hill, Babalous and Gyron is also only 5mins away down the hill. There is a good, local bakery, pizzeria, little bar, supermarket and a ski-hire shop which is very convenient. The restaurant in Gryon called The Station is a good place for supper too.
The tram stops here which takes you direct to the centre of Villars.
We would HIGHLY recommend this lovely chalet for a ski holiday - we liked our visit so much we booked again for a family week of bikes and picnics in the Summer!

Summer Heaven!
Very comfortable chalet and plenty of room to spread out. We ate out on the large terrace most nights and the one night it was raining we lit a fire and enjoyed watching movies on the large TV. Panoramic views and awesome sun sets. Kids enjoyed the garden and it was a peaceful spot. Tastefully decorated and easy living / entertaining space. A short drive to local shop for groceries. Great new spa and swimming pool in centre of Villars. Hiking from the back door. We loved our stay and hope to return next summer. It would be nice to include some charcoal for the BBQ next time please :-)) Dave

Well maintained chalet with great view
I have taken the property with my wife and two young children, and friends, in the winter and in the summer. The property is well maintained, spotlessly clean and extremely comfortable. It is clearly a family owned house, rather than a bland 'designer' rental property, which gives it a charming and relaxed feel. It has a fantastic view across the Rhone valley to the Dents Du Midi, which makes for the most attractive backdrop when dining on the terrace which leads off the large open plan living room/dining room and kitchen. Because of its position, the sun shines on the front of the house and the lawn all day. Being well above the centre of the village (but on good roads) it is quiet and, in winter, is easy to ski directly back to after a day on the slopes. We intend to return again next year.

Le Petit Chalet
Sehr geräumiges traditionelles und gemütliches Chalet in traumhafter, idyllischer Lage mit schöner Sonnenterasse und fantastischer Aussicht oberhalb von Barboleuse nahe der Talabfahrt.
Alle Zimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll und mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Jedes der 4 gemütlichen Schlafzimmer hat ein eigenes Bad. Der Wohnbereich wurde erst kürzlich erweitert und renoviert und bietet grosszügig Platz für 8 Personen, ebenso ist die Küche sehr geräumig und für fast alle Belange ausgestattet.
Der Kontakt mit den Eigentümern war ausserordentlich angenehm, diese waren stets um unser Wohl bemüht und all unseren Fragen gegenüber aufgeschlossen. Weiterempfehlung 100%.

Le Petit Chalet, Barboleuse
We had a marvellous stay at this very spacious chalet and enjoyed it tremendously.
It is charming, clean, with the most beautiful views. The rooms are tastefully decorated in a very homely fashion. The chalet is very convenient to Barboleuse Square and the telecabine. There are cross-country and snowshoe trails within walking distance to the chalet. The kitchen is adequate and the dining area spacious for proper evening meals.
The best thing about the chalet is that you feel you are in a home. You sleep well, the bathrooms are new and pleasant and the house is open and spacious. Our kids loved the nursery and playing in the snow outside. The neighbour's dogs were an added treat for pet deprived London kids like ours.
Villars is a quick 5 minute drive and there are many restaurants and things to do there, including bowling and watching ice hockey matches.
the train at Barboleuse takes you to the station in Villars where you transfer to the ski train up to Bretaye if you are not taking the telecabine from Barboleuse. A car park across from the station also serves its purpose in such instances.
All good!

About the host
Hosted by Richard
I have lived in Worcestershire in the UK for the last forty years. We are an active and growing family of three generations and have been spending our holidays in Switzerland for the last 20 years. We love everything about Switzerland - the skiing, the hiking, the tranquility and the huge array of activities and sports it has to offer - all in a civilised and safe environment.
Why they chose this property
We purchased the chalet so that as our three young could grow up they would learn to love Switzerland, the mountain way of life, the glorious views and above all the joys of mountain sports on the doorstep. We know our guests will have the most fantastic time while staying in our second home and we are here to offer advice and suggestions to ensure you experience the holiday of a lifetime.
What makes this property unique
Ski-in / ski out in winter - the ski slope is a short 1 minute walk from the back door and just off the main piste back to Barbelouse. All bedrooms are en suite and the chalet is perfect for two families sharing with a large entertaining space and garden. Super fast wifi - we understand that you need to stay in touch while you are away. A real home from home, a super comfortable chalet - contemporary and practical while maintaining the Swiss charm of a true mountain chalet.
