Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets

About the area

Villars/Gryon/Les Diablerets offers about 61 km of pistes in the Vaud Alps, and the balance is clearly tilted towards easy and moderate skiing: 39 km of blue and 1 km of green make up 66% of the network, with 19 km of red for progression. Only 1 km is black (2%), and the biggest vertical on a single run is 532 m, so strong skiers will exhaust the challenges quickly. Families are well served by four magic carpets and 23 short easy runs beside a lift base.

Thirty lifts serve the area, including eight chairlifts, three gondolas or cable cars — useful with small children who struggle with chairlift loading — plus seven platters, five T-bars and three rope tows. The skiable range runs from 1127 m to 2097 m, and the longest single descent measures 2786 m. Cross-country skiers have 23 km of prepared trails.
