Ski Holidays in Les Diablerets
Lots for families, easy access from Geneva and a chocolate box village to rival the rest of the Alps are just three reasons we like this resort – and we haven’t even mentioned the three ski areas, one of which is a snow sure glacier. Despite it being oddly named after the Devil (le Diable), it’s hard to find a bad word to say about Les Diablerets.

Les Diablerets Stats
Situated in the French-speaking Vaud region of the Swiss Alps, this is one of the most accessible resorts in Europe. With a frequent train service linking to Geneva and a transfer time of just over an hour, it’s an ideal destination for all Sno lovers who want to make it to the pistes ASAP – particularly those with young children.
Les Diablerets was known as ‘Le Plan des Isles’ until the townspeople got so fed up of their post being delivered to a similarly named village, that they decided to name it after a local hotel... the rest is history, and there’s lots of it: The Swiss tourist board first recognised this as a ski resort way back in 1888 and, even now, most of its buildings are traditional chalets or new constructions styled to reflect the original architecture. It’s little wonder then that the accommodation here is rated as some of the most beautiful in the world, meanwhile there’s plenty of life to be found in the ‘unspoilt’ town centre which is home to a fantastic scene of shops, bars and restaurants.
The resort has the Swiss tourist board’s Families Welcome stamp for its brilliant kids’ facilities which makes it a super place to bring the clan. It’s definitely worth looking out for local discounts and offers (in previous years, they’ve given free lift pass for under 9’s) that make travelling with kids just that much easier.
The village’s location is even more impressive in that it’s at the foot of three ski areas: Meilleret’s large piste network which is connected to Villars-Gryon; the south-facing Isenau slopes, and the towering Glacier 3000 – reached by the Col du Pillon cable car to the east of the village. These are all included on the area lift pass (alongside Leysin and Les Mosses) to provide a huge choice of terrain.

Les Diablerets Restaurants
The resort is home to some of the area’s best Swiss restaurants – we’ve heard great things about Auberge de la Poste from tourists and locals alike. The restaurant is in a traditional-style chalet which is conveniently located in the middle of the village, serving classic fondues as well as amazing Swiss hot chocolates. The Chalet Lacroix is also impressive and does a range of authentic and exotic dishes, whilst the menu at family-run La Grange includes some fantastic Italian favourites
Les Diablerets Après Ski
The Issenau restaurant is a great place to begin the afternoon après for a warming vin chaud and stunning views before heading down to the village. If you’ve been skiing the slopes of Glacier 3000, the Rooster Bar at Reusch is worth a stop, followed by the buzzing atmosphere at L’Ormonan which is right in the town centre. Later on, most revellers tend to flock towards La Pote for its lively disco – often hosting guest DJ’s and theme nights – whilst MTB is the best spot to challenge your friends to videogames, pool or darts.
Les Diablerets Activites for Non-skiers
Other things to do include skating on the outdoor ice rink; the Fun Park on Meilleret has its own sledge run and there’s even the option of husky rides on the glacier. Non-skiers can browse the village’s craft and souvenir shops or head up to the mountain for its walks and snowshoe trails
Clothing Food & Souvenir Shops
Les Diablerets is an unspoilt mountain village close to Gstaad and Villars resorts. With the village being on the smaller side, there are not many stores available and most are located in the main high street. That being said Les Diablerets offers the best of both worlds because Mammon does live just down the road in Gstaad, a 20 minute bus ride away (for Ski Gala Pass holders), so there's no need to miss out.
There are shops worth a visit in Les Diablerets of course, including several first rate ski shops, butchers , a Fromagerie selling wonderful cheeses seven days a week!
There's also a florist, chocolatiers and convenient stores - everything for a great holiday!
