The Les Diablerets raclette hiking kit: a gourmet adventure for every season

Raclette hiking: a unique way to discover the Ormonts Valley

There is no shortage of hikes and panoramic viewpoints in the area around Les Diablerets. Whether in summer or winter, thanks to the Rando-Raclette, a tasty kit that can be picked up at the tourist office in Les Diablerets, it is possible to combine the pleasures of the palate with the discovery of magnificent landscapes.

Where to pick up your raclette kit

Before you begin, simply reserve your raclette kit online (at least 24 hours in advance) or by telephone (+41 24 492 00 10) no later than 5 p.m. on the day before the activity. The kit is available for two or more people and can be collected from reception from 10 a.m. The staff on site will be happy to advise you on the best places to enjoy your delicious raclette, accompanied by local sausage, craft beer and bread.

An ideal activity for the family or with friends

My friends and I decided to go to Le Meilleret after the recent snowfall. The landscape is covered in snow and the afternoon promises to be glorious as the temperature rises slightly. We strap on our skis and head for the departure of the Diablerets Express gondola. As soon as we're in the cabin, we start dreaming about the fabulous raclette that awaits us up there.

From the village of ‘Les Mazots’, we take the opportunity to ski a few pistes. The fresh snow is very pleasant to ski on and at the end of the ski season there are relatively few people out and about. A dream! The sun is playing with the clouds and the atmosphere is getting warmer: it's time for a well-earned break.

A dream location in the middle of the slopes

Not far from the Les Diablerets snow park, we find a site that is ideal for setting up our raclette kit. We are facing south and are surrounded by beautiful conifers. Not far away, skiers and snowboarders are performing wonderful acrobatic figures and the terrain is relatively flat. In the distance, we can see the brightly lit summit of Grand Chamossaire.

The inimitable flavour of raclette from the Petit Diable dairy

The scenery is already spectacular, but what’s inside the bag is just as memorable. Easy to use, the raclette hiking kit turns a simple break into a truly convivial mountain experience. Inside, you’ll find a delicious selection of local products: raclette cheese from the Laiterie du Petit Diable, regional dry sausage and a craft beer from the Brasserie des Diablerets. Surrounded by alpine peaks, it’s hard to imagine a better setting for enjoying raclette in the great outdoors.

Taking care not to leave any rubbish on our way, we make our way back to Les Diablerets, where we enjoy a final descent through the fresh snow. Please ensure that all equipment is returned by 5.30 pm on the same day at the latest.
