Chalet RoyAlp Hôtel & Spa, a captivating five-star retreat in the alpine heart of Villars-sur-Ollon, blends the rustic allure of a mountain lodge with the polished elegance of a Leading Hotels of the World member, offering a soulful escape in the Swiss Alps.
The hotel's individually designed rooms and suites radiate alpine warmth, with hand-hewn wooden beams, soft furs, and rich textiles evoking a cozy chalet ambiance. Each sanctuary features plush private bathrooms stocked with luxurious bathrobes and artisanal toiletries, while expansive windows frame sweeping views of snow-dusted peaks or verdant meadows. Select suites boast crackling fireplaces, inviting guests to curl up in intimate comfort after a day on the slopes or fairways.
Dining at Chalet RoyAlp is a journey through alpine flavours and refined craftsmanship. The Grizzly, open during the winter season, channels the spirit of a traditional chalet with hearty Swiss dishes—think bubbling raclette and tender venison—served amid flickering candlelight and wooden accents. The table d'hôtes, nestled beside the main kitchen, offers an exclusive experience where chefs craft bespoke meals in a convivial, behind-the-scenes setting. BeAr's Bar, with its sun-drenched mountain-view terrace, pours crisp wines and inventive cocktails alongside light snacks, perfect for savouring the crisp alpine air.
The hotel's spa is a cocoon of tranquility, where a glowing indoor pool flanked by an open fireplace sets the tone for relaxation. A steaming hot tub, sauna, and hammam melt away the chill, while the fitness centre keeps guests invigorated with modern equipment. The relaxation lounge, bathed in soft light, offers a quiet retreat for contemplation. In winter, direct access to Villars' ski slopes lets guests glide straight from the door, while summer unlocks the rolling greens of the Villars Golf Club, with a Free Access Card opening doors to a wealth of local activities like hiking and mountain biking.
Perched 30 kilometers from Montreux and a 90-minute drive from Geneva Airport, Chalet RoyAlp Hôtel & Spa weaves seamless access to the Swiss Riviera's cultural gems with the untamed beauty of the Vaud Alps, crafting a timeless alpine idyll.
