The cable car glides out of the forest at Col du Pillon and the valley falls away, a green rug folding into stone. In fifteen unhurried minutes the cabin surges into the high country, windows breathing cold light as glaciers blink awake around you. At 3,000 meters, the air thins, voices soften, and the Alps shoulder closer—Jungfrau, the Matterhorn, and Mont Blanc staking the horizon as if daring each other to stand taller.
moderate.
2–3 hours.
Comfortable walking at altitude with stairs and exposed walkways; suitable for most active travelers.
Round-trip cable car to Scex Rouge, access to the Peak Walk by Tissot (weather permitting), the Ice Express chairlift, the fun park, and the marked glacier walk when open.
Plan 2–3 hours for the ride up and down, Peak Walk, terrace views, and a short glacier walk; add extra time if you plan to eat at the summit or walk farther toward Quille du Diable.
The bridge is secure but exposed on both sides. Many visitors with mild height sensitivity manage with slow, steady steps—others choose to enjoy the terrace views instead.
The cable car and summit restaurant are wheelchair accessible, but the Peak Walk and glacier trail are not suitable for wheelchairs.
Lifts and the Peak Walk may close for safety; check live status. If glacier access is not possible due to lift closure, the operator may reissue or reimburse tickets per their policy.
Take Bus 180 from Gstaad or Les Diablerets to Col du Pillon; it stops directly at the cable car station.
The Peak Walk by Tissot opened in 2014, linking two summits at Scex Rouge and instantly becoming an alpine icon. Les Diablerets’ name harks back to legends of ‘devils’ haunting the massif’s storms and cliffs.
Glaciers here are retreating; stick to marked paths to avoid crevasses and fragile snow bridges. Pack out all waste and avoid stepping off groomed routes to reduce impact on the high-alpine environment.
