This meant that timber could be exported <strong>and</strong> increasing numbers of tourists could come to enjoy the fresh, pure air <strong>and</strong> magnificent peaks.July 1914 was a highly significant date for the whole Valley, for a mountain railway, the Aigle-Sépey-Les Diablerets, was at last inaugurated, opening up the whole area for one <strong>and</strong> all.Les Diablerets is most famous for its winter sport. Various international competitions havebeen held, <strong>and</strong> some very talented skiers were native from the village, such as Willy Favre (silvermedallist in the Grenoble Olympic Games in 1968), <strong>and</strong> Lise-Marie Morerod (winner of theWorld Cup in 1977).For more information about this location, see www.lesdiablerets.ch.66th International Meeting on Microbial Epidemiological Markers
