Swiss Customised Family Summer Tours

Ok, this is something that is not strenuous...except maybe for you. We can offer you options for bike seats, trailers and tag along bikes. Flat routes along the valley to Chateau de Chillon and swimming in the crystal clear clean waters of Lac Leman; to Swiss Vapeur Parc for tootling around on miniature trains. There is the Villars Piscine allowing the babies and and toddlers to frolic in safe water depths, the train ride up to Bretaye, an e-bike ride (a trailer and/or tag along bike in tow) to the Col de la Croix farm to see the animals and watch cheese being made in giant copper cauldrons over fires (breakfast there too)....

On the days you want to ride long challenging loops (or easy rides) we can find childcare.

Moving onto the independent little tackers and big kids. They can ride...on a tag along (that's an extension bike attached to your bike), or on a scooter bike manically zipping around all the cyclists and pedestrians, or on a bike with pedals wobbling along beside you, or little speed demons determined to beat you to the next corner.

There are wonderful valley routes following the Rhone River to Chateau de Chillon - what kid doesn't love exploring a castle?! Or to Aqua Parc for an afternoon of water fun or in the opposite direction to Labyrinthe Aventure. Perhaps a casual ride to Chateau d'Aigle from Bex with an option to spend time tree and rope climbing at Parc Aventure or transfer to Col du Pillon for a gondola ride to the really awesomely exciting Glacier 3000 Alpine Roller Coaster. So much to do and so little time!

Possible these rides and adventure activities will also ensure you are challenged too! Morning rides in the mountains and the valley, with a carrot destination offering a fabulous adventure. Such as riding from Villars to Col de la Croix, Les Diablerets and then a short ride up to Col du Pillon. Reward? The awesomely terrifying Alpine Roller Coast and a sedate walk on the glacier. Riding from Villars to Sion and finding yourselves at Alaia Bay Alpine surf park - seriously! No matter the weather, this is definitely a must do activity.

What else? A game of golf at the 18 hole Villars Golf course; mountain biking down specially designed downhill trails; indoor rocking climbing or even better a day of guided climbing of the studendously stunning Miroir d'Argentine - not for those scared of heights!

There are so many half day and full day rides - some in the valley along the Rhone and around Lac Leman or lakes further afield. You can ride through the UNESCO Lavaux vineyards and stop for lunch and wine tasting or head up to the Swiss Plateau for rolling hills through the farmland. You want col rides? We have like the 4 Cols or the Sanetch Loop - hard core but you have all day and a transfer can be arranged in Gsteig if needed. E-bikes and road bikes are available, so no excuses!

The day after, you may want to relax at the Villars Wellness Spa followed by some 'relaxing' golf; relax on grassy areas next to Lac Leman, paddleboard past Chateau du Chillon... there are stunning mountain hikes to Solalex and beyond. And so much more.

We can offer hotel rooms, chalet or apartment accommodation in Villars. During summer there are a range of restaurants in the village, in the mountains and of course around the lake. All this can be personalised to suit your needs and budget.

We can also arrange childcare and transfers to and from activities.
