Information about the Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets and Glacier 3000 ski resorts
The Villars-Gryon-Les Diablerets ski area offers a variety of options for beginners, intermediates and experts on over 125 kilometres of slopes. The well-developed family runs in Villars and Gryon are particularly popular and are ideal for beginners and families with children thanks to their wide runs and gentle slopes. For experienced skiers and snowboarders, there are the more challenging runs around Les Diablerets with spectacular powder areas.
Another highlight is Glacier 3000, where winter sports are possible at an altitude of over 3,000 metres. Here you can not only ski on one of the highest glacier slopes in Europe, but also experience extraordinary attractions such as the Piste des Pistes and the Glacier 3000 cable car, which takes you to the summit in record time. Those looking for even more adrenalin can let off steam in the local snow park. Glacier 3000 is a must for snowboarders, freeskiers and lovers of alpine adventures in particular. Whether you take the family for a relaxing day on the wide slopes of Villars or set yourself a challenge in the snow-covered high mountains of Glacier 3000 - both regions offer the right experience for all ages and levels!

INTERSPORT Rent tip
The RENTertainer recommends
The Glacier 3000 glacier ski area offers a breathtaking panorama of the spectacular peaks of the Vaud and Valais Alps, including Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. We particularly recommend a ride on the legendary Alpine Coaster, the longest summer sledging run in Switzerland, which also offers a unique experience in winter.
Back in the valley, it's worth visiting the cosy village restaurants in Villars-sur-Ollon to round off the day with regional cuisine and a warming drink.
