The Diablerets is a mountain in the Swiss Alps, best known for the nearby ski resort of Les Diablerets. It is situated in the French-speaking part of Switzerland, in the easternmost area of the Canton of Vaud.

There is a glacier on Diablerets, officially titled Glacier de Tsanfleuron but known as Glacier 3000 due to its elevation of 3000 metres. It offers fine skiing for all, as well as magnificent views.

[edit] tourists

The resort has a ski school, hotels and a small town centre. It is not known that well, which is a big reason some tourists go there. Tourists staying at the nearby resort do not normally ski on Diablerets much, though there are runs there. The two nearby mountains, Isenau and Meilleret serve the main ski runs, as well as a 13km run down Diablerets. [1]
