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]
