Les Diablerets
Resort Overview
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.

Les Diablerets Lift System
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 & Getting There
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.
