Alpe des Chaux

Alpe des Chaux is a small mountain hamlet within the municipality of Ormont-Dessus, in the canton of Vaud, nestled in the Ormonts valley close to Les Diablerets. Typical of the high alpine pastures of the Vaud Chablais region, the area features traditional chalets scattered among meadows and coniferous woodland, with open views over the surrounding peaks of the Vaudois Alps. It serves as a popular starting point for summer hiking, with a network of trails connecting neighbouring alpine pastures and nearby mountain ranges. In winter, its proximity to the Les Diablerets and Villars ski areas provides easy access to both alpine and cross-country skiing. The setting remains quiet and largely unspoilt, retaining an authentic rural, mountain character well away from the bustle of larger resorts. With its clean air, altitude and unspoilt natural surroundings, Alpe des Chaux suits visitors seeking nature and peace, whether for a summer stay focused on walking or a winter break centred on snow sports.
