Les Diablerets is a picturesque mountainside village with a quaint town center, several hotels, three ski areas and a ski school.

Stay at one of the exclusive chalets in the region for a romantic time in this snowy wonderland.
Choose from the great variety of blue, red and black slopes on three ski peaks. Isenau is great for families. Le Meilleret offers more advanced skiing. Glacier 3000, with the highest peak in the Vaud Alps, has challenging slopes on natural snow and on a wide glacier.
