Les Diablerets ("the little devils") is an old mountain resort that has managed to prevent over-development and maintain its traditions while still offering 'all mod cons.' It is best known as a year round glacier skiing destination (the glacier itself is largely intended for summer skiing). There is a ski link to Villars however, so the winter ski area is over 100km without the glacier.
Access to the Glacier des Diablerets is located a few miles down the road on the way to near neighbor Gstaad, but can be reached on skis (apart from crossing the road) from mid-season in the winter. It doesn't work in reverse though - there's no lift back up to the mountain above Diablerets itself, so you'll need to get the ski bus back from the base of the glacier lifts.
Most noteworthy for experts from the glacier is the north facing run down from the middle cable car station at Pierre down to Col du Pillion. From the glacier itself there a wonderfully long easy run of 14km (9 miles), with one unavoidable steep black mogul section which eventually takes you back to the ski bus stop at Reusch on the road to Gstaad. You will ski a 1650m (5414feet) vertical on this one descent. But intermediates will find endless terrain with the lift link over to Villars from the resort, or with a pass of four days or longer they can
use the public transport system to hook up with the 250km (156 miles) of trails dotted around Gstaad's neighboring resorts, such as Chateau d'Oex and Saanenmoser.
Back in Les Diablerets the evenings normally offer lively apres ski, largely thanks to the tourist office which organizes a program of events for all visitors. In recent years this has included evening toboggan runs, a gym club for all on Wednesday evenings at the Congress House, a snow shoe walk with an aperitif in a wood cutter's hut on Fridays and church services on Sunday. Torch lit descents and sleigh rides are also organized by the tourist office and an occasional treat is a fondue in a cable car.
