Escape to the magic of the Alps at Petit Ours

Discreet elegance in one of Switzerland’s most breathtaking alpine settings.

Switzerland map, Villars-sur-Ollon is between Lausanne and Sion
Very comfortable terrace with wood seats and a breathtaking view over the mountains

Situated on the first floor of a traditional Swiss chalet, this delightful apartment enjoys one of the most breathtaking views imaginable — overlooking the majestic Dents du Midi mountains and stretching towards Mont Blanc and the Portes du Soleil ski area.

A large, south-facing terrace wraps around the building and is spacious enough to accommodate a dining table and six chairs. It is partially covered, making it the perfect spot to enjoy the panoramic views in any season.

Inside, the apartment features two bedrooms and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area that opens directly onto the terrace.

  • The master bedroom offers a king-size bed.

  • The second bedroom can sleep up to three guests, with flexible modular beds that can be arranged as singles or a super king, plus a fold-down single bed neatly hidden in the wall.

The bathroom includes both a bath and a shower, as well as a washing machine for added convenience. In total, the apartment comfortably sleeps five people.

Decorated in a traditional chalet style with a modern twist, the apartment offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The living area features leather furniture and a fireplace, creating the perfect setting for cosy evenings after a day on the slopes.

The compact kitchen is small yet very well designed and fully equipped, offering everything needed for an enjoyable stay.

The chalet enjoys a superb ski-in/ski-out location, set just above the main slope leading to the gondola. To return to the apartment, there is a short uphill walk directly from the piste, adding to the charm of its mountain setting.
