Auberge Restaurant du Lac Retaud : Route du Lac Retaud 4, 1865 Les Diablerets

Spent a lovely evening in the chalet with friends and cant wait to go back! We had the most delicious dinner (best soup I’ve ever had) with a beautiful view of the mountains and waterfall across the valley. The chateau is in the perfect location with hiking trails right outside the front door and Glacier 3000 down the street! Thank you to the staff for creating an unforgettable experience.

Part of me wants to keep this place a secret, but the incredible staff deserves all the recognition. This is heaven on earth. Benoit, CC, Tom, Leah, and the entire team go above and beyond—not just with impeccable service, outstanding food, and expertly curated wine, but even with impromptu blues guitar sessions during breakfast that make the experience unforgettable. Located next to the stunning Lac Retaud, just a short walk from Glacier 3000 and a stone’s throw from Les Diablerets, this auberge defines secluded luxury—not in an over-the-top way with golden bathtubs, but in the kind of way that feels like something out of a movie. Whether summer or winter, the breathtaking views, crisp mountain air, and perfect tranquility make it one of the most magical places in the world. The exclusivity only adds to its charm—you can only reach it on foot (or by snowmobile!), and after an incredible meal, you can ski straight down. The cozy rooms complete the experience, with a silence so pure you sleep like a newborn. I've been lucky enough to visit multiple times, and on my latest trip with my 11-year-old nephew, he summed it up best: "I feel like a VIP." If you ever have the chance to experience this place, cherish it. It’s pure paradise.

The location, service and food was absolutely fantastic! The rooms were quite small but super clean and with an amazing view. I got nothing but love for this place :)
