Leysin

100 km of piste between 1350-2205m

Although Leysin is a bit of a sprawl, it has a reasonable amount going on and some good slopes, particularly for boarders and intermediates. It makes a good base for trying out the runs in neighbouring resorts and connects directly to the modest but reasonable Les Mosses terrain. There is a good rail link to Leysin from Aigle, which itself has rail connections to Villars, Les Diablerets (both covered by the Alpes Vaudois ski pass) and the 4 Vallées.

Where to Eat and Party

The Yeti Bar and le Lynx are lively spots in the village, and Club 94 carries on after everything else is closed. They do excellent fondue and raclette at La Fromagerie (+41 24 494 22 05).
