Glacier 3000 and Les Diablerets

The air stings your cheeks at Col du Pillon as the gondola hums and lifts you toward 2,971 m; up top, the Peak Walk by Tissot links two summits with a steel footbridge framing Mont Blanc and the Jungfrau. In summer, the Col de la Croix road opens onto Gryon’s pastures and the Diablerets cliffs; in winter, the safer route runs via Aigle along the valley floor. On the glacier plateau you can ride the Alpine Coaster, trace ancient crevasses with your eyes, then linger at Restaurant Botta, Mario Botta’s glassy lookout.

We drive, you enjoy. Departing from Villars-sur-Ollon, your dedicated private chauffeur for the Vaud region handles hotel pick-up in a comfortable Mercedes and keeps the timing flexible: about 35 minutes to Col du Pillon, tickets lined up at your chosen slot, free time for the Peak Walk and a coffee at Botta while the car waits close by. On the way back, pause in Les Diablerets for a meringue with double cream from the dairy or a look at the 1465 church, then 25 minutes via Vers-l’Église and La Forclaz, depending on road conditions.
