Leysin at a glance

This is Leysin

Leysin is located in the southwest of Switzerland in the canton of Vaud. Situated above the Rhone Valley, this mountain village, is an attractive travel and holiday destination because of its mild climate, the Berneuse mountain, a popular destination for excursions,and its proximity to Lake Geneva.

Discover Leysin

A plateau located some 1300 meters above sea level, facing south and sheltered from the north wind, Leysin was once a well-known spa town. On your tour of the village, you will notice the stately buildings that formerly housed the high-altitude clinics, which have since been transformed into international private schools. You are sure to enjoy the view of the mountains and the Rhone Valley, which extend all the way to Lake Geneva. Speaking of enjoyment, at the cheese factory, you can watch how cheese is made over a wood fire and, of course, taste the finished product.

Berneuse mountain - a popular excursion destination

The cable car will bring you directly from Leysin to the peak of the Berneuse mountain. What a panorama! Mont Blanc looks out next to the Dents du Midi mountain range, while the Matterhorn stands out alongside Les Diablerets, and you can see the Eiger in the distance. Meanwhile, the Kuklos restaurant offers a panoramic view in slow motion: the solar-powered glass building rotates once every 90 minutes. From the Berneuse you can hike back down into the valley – past the idyllic mountain lakes of Aï and Mayen.

Winter sports in Leysin, Les Mosses, La Lécherette

Leysin offers visitors winter sports and fun in the snow. Whiz through an ice channel on a tyre in the tobogganing park, for example, or alternatively, there is LeysinPark on the Chaux-de-Mont slope, which is home to the only half pipe in the Vaud Alps. Discover the winter sports area of Leysin-Les Mosses-La Lécherette with over 100 kilometres of slopes and a variety of cross-country ski trails. As you traverse the snowshoe trails through snow-covered forests, you will feel as though you’re in a fairytale.

Around Leysin

The range of excursions you can enjoy around Leysin is extremely varied. From nearby Les Diablerets, you can reach the Glacier 3000 winter sports destination with its Peak Walk by Tissot. In the Rhone Valley, you can visit Aigle Castle, nestled in the midst of a vineyard, or explore the salt mines of Bex. It is worth taking a detour to Lake Geneva, for example to visit Chillon Castle or the picturesque town of Vevey.
