Gryon is a small village in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.
Unlike many other mountain villages of the area, Gryon is not way up a valley formed by one of the Rhone's affluents, but seems to hang precariously, threatening at any moment to crash down into the village below.
The great thing about Gryon is that, while still very close to the rest of the world (30mn from the valley, an hour from Lausanne and an hour and a half from Geneva airport) it spends most of the year sleeping.
