Leysin Things To Do

Things To Do
Small and traditional, this farming village and former health resort is now a popular convention centre, welcoming budget travellers and school groups to its ski slopes. There's plenty of activities to keep everyone entertained, both on and off the snow, and a laid-back atmosphere and Old-World charm throughout the town of Leysin.

Après Ski 
Drinks are well-priced for a Swiss resort, making the resort a popular destination with the young and budget travellers. There is a good choice of bars, and family entertainment includes torch-light descents and fondue evenings.
 
Leysin is accessible via a scenic funicular railway ride from Aigle, with the original town sitting at the bottom of the mountain, and the newer resort further up, and both skiers and non-skiers treated to stunning views over the Rhone Valley.
