History

In 1974 a number of owners of chalets and apartments in the region of Les Diablerets decided to found APCADO. They realised that, as a group, they would be in a better position to help the local authorities to defend and develop the region they were so fond of. By forming an association and by participating in the everyday life of the Commune of Ormont-Dessus, they would, through a two-way exchange of information and views, be protecting the interests of the village and its surroundings.

Aims

• Represent the interests of the members of the Association in relations with the local authorities
• Maintain close contact with the Municipality, Diablerets Tourisme and local societies and organisations
• Ensure that members are kept informed on all topics of general interest

• Aperitif at the end of the year at the Maison des Congrès

At the end of each year, members receive a booklet relating all the Association’s activities of the past year and events in the village.
