Gryon

Around Gryon, the terrain is an Alpine terrace above the Rhône valley, a setting that has influenced the settlement pattern and the local economy. The village belongs to the Vaud Alps, where wooded slopes rise toward limestone ridges shared with the neighbouring resort area of Villars. Traditional timber chalets remain part of its built character, alongside a small centre shaped by seasonal life in the mountains. Gryon is served by the Bex–Villars–Bretaye Railway, a narrow-gauge line linking it with Bex in the valley and Villars uphill. In warmer months, surrounding paths and pastures favour walking; winter brings skiing across the wider Villars-Gryon area.
