Diablobus to Lac Retaud
The seasonal shuttle runs from Les Diablerets towards Lac Retaud. It is the easy way to reach the lake and auberge without making the uphill walk. Check the current TPC listing for operating dates.
Diablobus & local transport
There is a train to the village, a seasonal Diablobus to Lac Retaud, regional buses to Villars and a route across the pass towards Gstaad. Services change with the season, so this page links to the current timetable rather than displaying old departure times.

The R71 line runs Aigle–Le Sépey–Les Diablerets. From the station, the homes are about a 13-minute uphill walk. With luggage or small children, a taxi is more comfortable.
Line 180 connects Saanen, Gstaad, Col du Pillon, Glacier 3000 and Les Diablerets on published seasonal dates. Check the last return before planning a car-free day.
Seasonal regional buses connect the wider Villars–Gryon–Les Diablerets area. This is useful for a different ski sector, a lake walk or a mountain restaurant.
Leysin, Château-d’Oex and Aigle are practical regional trips by train, bus or car depending on the day. Use TPC or SBB for the route you need.
A car gives you more freedom for early Glacier 3000 starts, paragliding or canyoning appointments, and winter days when services are limited. Snow tyres or chains may be needed.
How to plan it
Use the Diablobus for Lac Retaud, the train for the valley, the seasonal bus for Gstaad and Glacier 3000, and a car when you need an early start or a flexible return. Check the official timetable and live mountain conditions before leaving.
