dchilton, Not particularly, have been across the valley to 2 Alpes far more often. Easiski is 2 Alpes-based, she's better placed to advise on the area...

dchilton, you're right, provided the canton allows sales to foreigners then you're OK. Maybe that's the issue about Switzerland.

Villars has a fairly inconsistent snow record, so you should base your expectations on a study of past winters and a realistic projection of how many dud winters and good winters might be in store. That's if the chalet's to be consistently used as a ski base.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Villars is in the Vaud which has the most relaxed foreign sales policy of all the cantons, I'd be concerned personally that would lead to local hotspots in property prices. I'm toying with buying another place in Switzerland but I'm able to buy pretty much anywhere due to my resident status so I'd personally avoid areas non-residents were allowed to buy for more than one reason.

But it is handy for the glacier at Les Diablerets.
