Les Diablerets is a glaciated mountain group in the northern Bernese Alps. The main peak, Sommet des Diablerets, reaches 3,210 meters. Other significant peaks include Oldenhorn (3,123 meters), where the cantons of Vaud, Valais, and Bern meet, Sex Rouge (2,971 meters), Tête Ronde (3,037 meters), and Culan (2,789 meters). A cable car from Col du Pillon to Sex Rouge allows skiing and paragliding on the Tsanfleurongletscher plateau well into the summer. The area is also known for the reintroduction of bearded vultures in Derborence, at the southern foot of the Diablerets. Les Diablerets, located at the northern foot of the mountain group, is a well-known health resort.
