Les Diablerets is a little known resort
outside of the major European ski fraternities. The rest of the skiing
world is a lot worse off for it.
Although a smallish entry, Les
Diablerets has everything you would find within the borders of bigger
and better known destinations, but with small town prices to boot.
Plus it does have a dynamite glacier, which guarantees good skiing if
not for 365 days per year, then damn close to it.
The point is, Les Diablerets, with its
superb location and its strong retention of unique Swiss flavor,
in addition to some pretty formidable skiing, might be just what
the doctor ordered. If you are looking for a combination of real
Swiss mountain atmosphere, as well as good skiing, the resort must
be a candida
On the skiing scene, Diablerets
has a variety of terrain and challenge. Nursery to nerve racking
is probably how we would best describe the ski action. There
is truly something for everybody. New facilities on the glacier
have greatly improved the scope there, and make the available
skiing terrain bigger and better.
Better
skiers will enjoy the steep and deep runs back to the village from the
Isneau area. On a good day these runs can provide thrills and pleasures
equal to anywhere in the Alps. Toward the village centre are the pistes
of Meillert and Les Mazots. Lifts right from the town centre will
transport you to these slopes, which in turn have a network of higher
lifts to whisk you around once you are in the system. Les Mazots, with
it's wooded runs, provides a good bit of challenge, and Isneau is best
suited to the talents of the recreational skier. Good skiers should take
the run to Villars at least once.continue
