Leysin is located in the district of Aigle in Vaud at 1253 m above sea level on a southern terrace. The place is particularly beautifully situated because it offers direct views of the valley through which the Grande Eau River flows east of the Rhone Valley. Because of the high proportion of sunshine, there is a particularly mild climate here. Leysin can be reached from Aigle by rack railroad in about 35 minutes. 250 km of hiking trails, some of which are also used for bike tours, are easy for families to walk. In addition, the rugged limestone cliffs offer a field of activity for climbers. In winter, 17 lifts and a snow park await visitors. In summer, Leysin offers a children's entertainment program.

“An immersive exhibition that touches the soul. Every detail has been thoughtfully crafted, staying true to Chaplin's humanism. You feel connected to his world from the moment the film starts at the cinema, before gradually exploring each theme of his vast body of work. A body of work that rises above human foolishness through laughter, poetry, beauty, dreams, and unconditional love. Universal.”
“Great. We thought we would spend 1.5 to 2 hours with my 4-year-old daughter, but we ended up staying all afternoon.”
“Beautiful castle complex, nicely restored. Good information available both via audio guides and information panels.”
“Friendly reception! A slightly tricky GPS route to access the place”
“Amazing staff, great tour.”
“Good service, especially the driver. The bus is getting old. The air conditioning was barely adequate, so it was warm inside and you couldn't easily adjust the vents. Charging ports would be nice, like on trains.”
