Villars Palace Academy is the very first Edu-Resort in the Swiss Alps, bringing together hospitality and learning experiences to best equip future leaders.

As a Swiss hospitality and leadership school, we deliver a broad Vocational Education and Training (VET) program, licensed by EHL, which offers students the unique opportunity to apply what they learn in theory classes through real-life working experiences.
Skilling up within our state-of-the-art Edu-resort, our students effectively reach their professional dreams by learning about Hotel Administration and gaining a hands-on, global experience, while training with our experts in various departments, from front office and rooms division to housekeeping and food & beverage, to name but a few.
The Swiss hotel industry experienced a sharp rebound after COVID-19. The industry recorded 14.6 million overnight stays. This represents a 54% increase in demand in all tourist regions.

Within a single property, one can find three hotels of different categories, a vocational hospitality school (VET by EHL), a sports center, a wellness center, and a cultural center.
From Palace to Lodge, at the VAR, we aspire to challenge traditional hospitality by taking our guests on a meaningful journey where they can experience the hospitality of tomorrow and be actors of change.
