SWITZERLAND - LEYSIN TOURIST INFORMATION
Leysin is a traditional Swiss farming village, unspoilt by the numerous nationalities attending several international schools. If you are thinking of coming to Switzerland for a skiing holiday, you need look no further. There are two sports centres (including skating rink), varied shops and cafes and excellent restaurants. Leysin has excellent year-round sports for all enthusiasts.
Leysin has excellent skiing, with a good snow record, and is now linked to Les Mosses and La Lécherette via Solepraz. A total of 20 lifts provide access to 30 pistes and 60+ km of skiing terrain with a vertical drop of almost 3,000'. The ski area includes a snowboarding park, Europe's largest toboggan run and 7kms of 'ski de fond' prepared runs.
Glacier 3000, offering year-round skiing at Les Diablerets is close by; ski passes to the whole of the Alpes Vaudoises are available.
Leysin has retained its traditional charm and atmosphere as a Vaud Alps village and is therefore a place to be enjoyed by non-skiing guests. It has a friendly atmosphere, with good aprés ski. It is close to Château d'Oex, Les Diablerets, Gstaad, Villars, Montreux and Lake Geneva. The highest point in Leysin, at Berneuse, features the "Le Kuklos" revolving restaurant at 2,050 meters, with stupendous 360 degree views of the Valais mountains, Mont Blanc, the Rhône valley and Lake Geneva.
Summer sports are well organised too, with options including walking and mountain sports, plus the excellent sports centres. For the less active, the chalet is a wonderful place to simply relax and 'recharge the batteries', with its healthy mountain air, wonderful views, attractive walks into nearby Leysin and numerous excursions to be enjoyed.
Leysin is at the Lausanne end of Lake Geneva tucked up a valley around a corner at the lake's most south-easterly end. This is Switzerland at it's best.
LAKE GENEVA
Historic Aigle castle is 15 mins down the mountain, and a further drive of 15mins past local vineyards (excellent tasting facilities) takes one to Lake Geneva. Here one can find superb attractions, including the Chateau de Chillon (where Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein), the historic city of Montreux, lake swimming at Villeneuve, a water and steam park at Le Bouveret, plus the charming lakeside village of St Gingolphe, half French, half Swiss, where their famed fresh fish cuisine is worth the 30min journey either by road or classic lake steamship.
