'{{Short description|Village and ski resort in Ormont-Dessus, Vaud, Switzerland}} {{about|the village|the mountain|Diablerets}} {{Use dmy dates|date=August 2016}} [[File:Diablerets et Diablerets.jpg|thumb|300px|Les Diablerets with the massif of the Diablerets]] '''Les Diablerets''' is a [[village]] and [[ski resort]] located in the municipality of [[Ormont-Dessus]] in the canton of [[Vaud]], [[Switzerland]]. The village lies at an altitude of {{convert|1200|m|ft}} on the north side of the massif of the [[Diablerets]], {{convert|3210|m|ft}}, in the [[Swiss Alps]]. It can be accessed by train ([[Chemin de fer Aigle-Sepey-Diablerets]]) or by road from [[Aigle]]. The [[Col du Pillon]] (1,546 m) on the east give access to the [[Bernese Oberland]] region and is the [[Glacier 3000]] cable car lowest station. The resort has a ski school, hotels and a small town centre. Les Diablerets is known for its traditional mountain architecture. Les Diablerets is home to the Diablerets Alpine Centre (DAC), an official SwissSki alpine training and performance centre. Founded in 2020, the DAC is a legacy project of the 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games. == Skiing == Les Diablerets has three main ski areas: [[Scex Rouge]] (marketed as [[Glacier 3000]]) consists of beginner and intermediate slopes at its highest altitudes with more challenging pistes such as Martisburg further down the mountain. Glacier 3000 is also home to the infamous Combe d'Audon which sweeps past the summit of [[Oldehore|Oldehorn]] (3,122m) and drops down to the valley below at Reusch. Aside from skiing, Glacier 3000 is home to "Peak Walk by [[Tissot]]" - the only peak to peak suspension bridge in the world, the Alpine Coaster and Dog Sled trips. The Isenau sector is known for wide, sweeping slopes suitable for beginners and the sector's all-day sunshine ensures its popularity. As well as pistes at the top of the area there is a run down to the village and a long run down to the [[Col du Pillon]] - the first station of the Glacier 3000 cable car. The Meilleret area is on the slopes to the south east of the village. The area is Diablerets' connection to the extensive Villars/Gryon/Diablerets ski area. Meilleret has the longest sledge run in Europe from its summit down to the village via the Col de la Croix. The slopes of Meilleret hosted the alpine skiing events of the [[2020 Winter Youth Olympics]]. == Other events == Les Diablerets has hosted the [[Festival International du Film Alpin Les Diablerets]] every year since 1969.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mountainfilmalliance.org/member-festival/festival-du-film-des-diablerets-montagneexploits-environnement|title=Festival du Film des Diablerets, Montagneexploits-environnement Les Diablerets, Switzerland|publisher=International Alliance for Mountain Film|accessdate=13 February 2014|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140519012940/http://www.mountainfilmalliance.org/member-festival/festival-du-film-des-diablerets-montagneexploits-environnement|archivedate=19 May 2014|df=dmy-all}}</ref> == Notes == {{reflist}} == External links == * {{commons category-inline|Les Diablerets (village)}} * {{Official website|http://www.diablerets.ch/fr/}} {{Portal bar|Switzerland}} {{coord|46|21|05|N|7|09|29|E|region:CH-VD|display=title}} {{authority control}} [[Category:Villages in Switzerland]] [[Category:Ski areas and resorts in Switzerland]] [[Category:Venues of the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics]]'
