Ski-in/ski-out

Les Diablerets is a traditional village in a dramatic bowl; lodging is in and around the village, a short ride from the Glacier 3000 and Isenau lifts.

Get to know the resort

Les Diablerets sits in a dramatic rock cirque at the head of the Ormonts valley, a traditional village with its skiing split between the local Isenau slopes and the snow-sure Glacier 3000 up at 2971 m. Linked with Villars-Gryon, it shares a 125 km domain of mostly gentle, scenic runs, with the glacier and the Quille du Diable viewpoint as headline attractions. Quiet and characterful, it is a relaxed alternative to the bigger Valais resorts.
