Leysin

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.

“5 stars for the mountain views, lucky with the weather and to be seated on the revolving part of the restaurant. Most of the cable staff were confused with this app/ticket, only one out of six knew to scan the QR code with a different app, the rest let us through the barrier with a couple of them saying we should have had a paper or different sort of ticket. No extra cost etc. but be warned. Waitress in the restaurant didn't recognise the ticket either so had to check with a manager but all good in the end. Meat and cheese board for 2 people as expected - four different ones of each, a couple of pieces of cheese, four slices of each meat.”

“Lucas was a great guide. The activity is so fun - you need a lot of nerve and absolutely cannot be afraid of heights. Bring water. Highly recommend.”
