Situated in the Chablais vaudois region at an altitude of 478 meters, the village of Ollon and its 2800 inhabitants enjoy exceptional sunshine, which is one of the reasons for the village's reputation. The municipality is very extensive, stretching from the right bank of the Rhône at an altitude of 390 meters to the Chamossaire summit at 2112 meters.

Ollon is located ~10 kilometers from the Villars-Gryon ski resort, close to the Portes du Soleil ski area, comprising ~650km of pistes, one of the largest in Europe. During the summer months, long hikes are possible in the lush surrounding countryside, and numerous walks are organized in the vineyards, with tastings of the region's AOC wines.

Higher up are the lakes of Bretaye and Chavonne, with magnificent landscapes to discover. The village of Ollon is located ~3 km from the St-Triphon freeway entrance and ~5 km from the A9 freeway entrance at Aigle. It is served by TPC and CFF via the railway station in its center.

Two bus companies operate routes between villages and connect the heights to ski resorts and hiking trails.

Food shops are concentrated in Aigle, but Ollon has all other facilities
