From authentic village ambiance to year-round glacier skiing, Les Diablerets combines diverse winter experiences across 112km of varied terrain. The destination's unique character emerges from its three distinct sectors—the traditional village slopes, the connection to neighboring Villars, and the high-alpine environment of Glacier 3000. This elevation range creates remarkable skiing diversity, from gentle family zones amid snow-covered forests to challenging glacial pistes beneath the watchful peaks of the Vaud Alps. Advanced skiers particularly value the "Combe d'Audon" descent—a legendary 7km run dropping 1,700m from the glacier to the valley floor through dramatically changing landscapes.

The contrast between historic and cutting-edge defines Les Diablerets' lift infrastructure. The iconic Glacier 3000 cable car—a masterpiece of Swiss engineering—rises dramatically to 3,000m elevation, providing year-round access to high-alpine terrain and the area's small glacier. This spectacular installation complements 25 additional lifts serving the connected sectors of Villars, Les Diablerets village, and Glacier 3000, creating a diverse network across significantly different altitude zones. From village-level beginner areas to the glacier's advanced terrain, vertical drops exceeding 1,700m deliver some of Switzerland's longest possible descents within a single domain.

Location

Eastern Vaud canton houses Les Diablerets, positioned approximately 120km from Geneva Airport in the French-speaking region of Switzerland. The traditional village sits at 1,200m elevation beneath its namesake mountain massif—Les Diablerets ("The Devils")—whose distinctive silhouette dominates the landscape. From this picturesque base, terrain stretches upward to Glacier 3000, creating exceptional vertical diversity rarely found in resorts of similar size. The area's privileged position between Lake Geneva and the Bernese Oberland provides visitors with opportunities to experience varied Swiss landscapes, from vineyard-covered lakeshores to high-alpine glacial zones, all within short driving distances.

Season Info

Les Diablerets maintains one of Switzerland's longest potential skiing seasons thanks to its Glacier 3000 sector, where winter sports continue through spring and resume in autumn before conventional areas open. The main season operates from December through April, with the most consistent village-level conditions from January through March. What distinguishes this destination is its strategic diversity—when lower sectors face challenging conditions, the glacier typically offers excellent skiing above 3,000m. This altitude advantage becomes particularly valuable during early and late season, when Les Diablerets can deliver reliable skiing weeks before and after conventional resorts at lower elevations.
