Here you can find information on winter activities like skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and sledding! One of the unique activities in les Diablerets is the Davos sledge. They have one of the longest sledge tracks in Switzerland (7km long), which is great fun (and safe) for families and friends. We would like to note that the iceskating rink and the curling tracks are closed after the mid-March.
Important Note: Very unfortunately, this is the warmest winter in Europe. There is not so much snow in Les Diablerets (28th of Feb.). Please check the webcam and snow/ski slope conditions/sledge run conditions by yourself (see also Alpes Vaudoises for more details). We would suggest waiting before pre-booking ski equipment.

Skipass information

One for Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets area after 11h is 58 CHF (1-day /2-day pass costs 63 CHF/119 CHF). Considering the snow condition in February, we probably have to go up to Glacier3000 (3000m) to have enough snow for snowy activities. We have to take a bus + a cable car to reach the summit. The one-day ski pass costs 75 CHF (only Glacier3000) or 79 CHF (Alpes Vaudoises:Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets-Glacier3000 and Leysin-Les Moses-La Lecherette). The ski pass Alpes Vausoises costs 134 CHF, 193 CHF, 247 CHF, and 297 CHF for 2 to 5 days.
Glacier3000
The Peak Walk by Tissot, the Botta Restaurant, the Glacier Walk, the Fun Park, the snow bus, the dog sledding rides are all accessible from the top station of Scex Rouge. The hotel has a special offer for a 1-day ticket for a pediatrician, 68 CHF/person, which is originally 85 CHF/person. To get to Glacier3000 we have to take a 180 bus from "Les Diablerets, parc des sports", which is 120 m from the hotel, to "Col du Pillon, Glacier 3000", where we can take a cable car. The cable car Col du Pillon - Cabane - Scex Rouge (15 mins) is every 20 mins from 9:00 am to 5:40 pm (last descent). Glacier 3000 may close at any time depending on weather conditions. Please check the opening information.
Important Note: Even at Glacier3000, the snow height is only 166cm on the 26th of February after the snowfall (cf. 5cm at Col du Pillon).
