Beginners
Villars and Les Diablerets are excellent choices for beginners. Villars has gentle nursery slopes by the resort and also at the top of the Bretaye, reached by the scenic mountain railway. Les Diablerets boasts nursery slopes close to the village centre, easily reached by foot. The ski schools are excellent and will ensure you are soon onto higher, gentle pistes.

Intermediate
Intermediate skiers will really enjoy the wealth of excellent blue and red runs throughout the the linked Alpes Vaudoise network. Try the reds and blues from the top of Le Mazots.

Advanced
There is plenty of high mileage skiing in the whole area as well as challenging long runs. On the Glacier des Diablerets, enjoy the 10km red run down the Combe d'Audon.

Snowboarding
The area has become more and more associated with snowboarding over the last few years. It has had a lot of coverage in magazines such as Onboard due to Diableret's year round pipe and park. There is some superb freeriding in the backcountry - hire an off-piste guide to fully exploit it. In early April, Villars hosts "Snowbombing" - the biggest music and snowboard festival in the Alps.

Apres Ski
Both resorts have a variety of venues after a hard day on the slopes. Villars: Charlie's bar, Central Cafe and El Gringo disco. Les Diablerets: Ormonan, MTB, eineken Corner at the Chamois and the Eurotel Victoria. To dance the night away, try the Saloon la Pote or B-bar.
