Les Diablerets - Glacier 3000, Ormont-Dessus

A rather pretty old mountain resort, better 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 resorting to the glacier. Quite lively apres ski considering its size.Les Diablerets has established itself as a major snowboarding centre where the purists of the 'boarding life can indulge their love of the sport and its strong ties with the natural environment in this unspoilt environment - year round thanks to the glacier. Apart from the wide ranging on-piste terrain, mainly accessed by cable car, gondola and chair lifts, there are plenty of off-piste opportunities and two snowboard school to show the best to you. The winter snowboard park is at Isenau above Diablerets with two others above lift-linked Villars (at Bretaye) and Gryon (on Les Chaux). In summer, the Glacier des Diablerets is THE meeting point for snowboarders from all over the world. Les Diablerets boasts the largest Summer Snowpark in Europe. The Park was designed by Nicolas Marduel, helped by Mitch Buchanan, Lolo Besse & Berti Denervaud. The snowpark contains three half-pipes (shaped with a pipe-dragon), a boardercross and an obstacle park. The summer camps have taken place from late June to late July in recent years.
