Ormont-Dessous: Les Diablerets - Meilleret
Tucked into the Vaud Alps, Ormont-Dessous is a place whose character is shaped by broad mountain pastures and the high route over Col des Mosses. Its settlements include Les Mosses and La Lécherette, spread across an upland valley in eastern Vaud rather than concentrated in a single town centre. Col des Mosses forms a road link between the Rhône Valley at Aigle and the Pays-d’Enhaut, giving the area a lasting role as a crossing point through the Prealps. Pastures, forested slopes and ridgelines frame a landscape used for alpine farming as well as the Les Mosses–La Lécherette ski area. Traditional chalets and grazing land remain central to its regional identity.

Vaud has served as a French-speaking heartland within Switzerland since 1803. Its territory runs from the Jura foothills across the fertile plateau to the shores of Lake Geneva and the Vaud Alps, giving the canton a notably varied geography. Lausanne, the cantonal capital, rises above the lake and is home to the International Olympic Committee; nearby, the terraced vineyards of Lavaux are a UNESCO World Heritage site. Along the eastern lakeshore, Château de Chillon stands beside the water near Montreux, while the Alpine resorts above it lead into higher country. Winegrowing, lake transport and urban culture all shape daily life here. Move on to other webcams in the region to compare landscapes and settings around Lake Geneva.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
