Les Diablerets
Charming ski village with unhurried, friendly atmosphere. Access to glacier skiing
Les Diablerets resort guide - a general overview
Les Diablerets is a quiet resort that has not been spoilt by a mass flood of tourism. The village tries to ensure that guests receive a first-class service in all its establishments and attractions. There are two areas of local slopes and there is also a Glacier.
The Meilleret side of Les Diablerets enables you to get to the neighbouring resort of Villars which makes for a surprinsingly large and interlinked ski area. There is also a snowboard park, which has 3 half-pipes. Off the slopes, the après ski scene is a little quiet with a few bars and a couple of nightclubs. If you don't fancy a late night however, or are with a young family, there is an ice rink and a swimming pool.
Restaurants in Les Diablerets mainly serve traditional cuisine. There is a wonderful relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. We strongly recommend ski holidays in Les Diablerets for families or for those just looking to get away from it all.
