The region is situated at the western end of the Swiss Alps, containing the Les Diablerets glacier, Villars, Leysin and Les Mosses ski areas. This offers a diverse ski area which we can visit on different days.

The chalet is located at 1,450m in Les Mosses. This is an ideal area for starting out, refreshing techniques, or playing on jumps! For much of the week, we travel by bus, to explore other areas in the region. Les Diablerets offers guaranteed snow at 3,000m and an excellent snowpark. The premiere area of Villars offers long wide runs, two main peaks and some good bumps terrain. Leysin boasts jumps, half-pipe and spectacular views over Lake Geneva from the revolving restaurant.

Our accommodation has bedrooms for 2,4 & 6 each with a washbasin. It is only 100m from the nearest lift, which will be convenient when we choose to ski here and it links to La Lecherette. Les Mosses is really only a hamlet, but there are a few shops and bars scattered about.

Some comments from people who were here over 2010/2011 New Year

The ski srea has lots of variety and good to explore lots of new places. Lots of button lifts in the first two days. Beautiful location. We needed the variety of going to different areas as limited skiing in Les Mosses and so this worked very well in the week. Would like more comfortable seating in the lounge area. Rooms were a little tight with 4 people in them (La Sapinere). Showers were generally hot, but some cold days as everyone else used the water! (La Sapinere)
