    Glacier 3000 Lift System

    The journey begins with the ultramodern cable car from Col du Pillon, ascending 1,400 meters in just 15 minutes. The resort's lift system, though compact with 10 installations, efficiently serves all sectors of the ski area. The distinctive Ice Express chairlift provides access to the glacier's summit, while the Scex Rouge cable car leads to the spectacular Peak Walk suspension bridge, connecting two mountain peaks at 3,000 meters.

    Location & Getting There

    Positioned between Gstaad and Les Diablerets in western Switzerland, Glacier 3000 is easily accessible at just two hours from Geneva Airport. The base station at Col du Pillon sits at 1,546 meters, with direct access to the glacier zone. Visitors can choose between staying in the sophisticated resort of Gstaad or the traditional village of Les Diablerets, both offering convenient connections to the glacier. This strategic location combines the exclusivity of high-altitude glacier skiing with easy access to the amenities and charm of two distinct Swiss resort towns.

    Season Info

    As its name suggests, Glacier 3000 offers one of the longest ski seasons in the region, typically operating from late October through early May. The high-altitude position ensures exceptional snow reliability throughout the winter months. Early-season skiing often begins here while lower resorts await their first snowfall, making it a crucial destination for eager skiers looking to start their season. Spring brings perfect conditions for long descents under brilliant Alpine sunshine.
