Olivier is a very kind host, his place is well furnished and very clean. All the necessary equipment is present in the kitchen, from the basic goods to the most complex tool to open cans or a bottle. Coffe maker, "machine à raclette", cissors, power cord extentions and adapters. Olivier is very responsive if anything is needed.
The appartement is bigger than it looks in the pictures, and believe me... that view .... you can see the deepest point of the valley and the highest points of the mountains on the same field of view... Breathless.
The place is warm, the terrace is big, Big smart TV, internet is fast, elevator
Olivier let at our disposal interesting informations about Leysin and the region and the free bus schedules (train station and bus stop are very close)
Private parking spot in front of the main door
There is a ski room with a private locked space for 3 adult ski equipment.
We could use the panoramic swimming pool from the hotel nearby for 8 CHF (just need to call to check if it's not reserved by their customers)
Leysin is a magical place, very beautifull village with a lot of history, a unique blend of different architechtures, old wooden chalet village, "belle époque" sanatoriums converted to hotels and international schools, a few interesting brutalist facilities resulting from the convertion to a winter/summer holiday resort. But still, "un village alpin" inhabited with very kind people.
The ski resort is a middle sized complex with a lot of diversity and stunning views from the tracks (Chablais mountains, Eiger, Jungfrau, Mont Blanc, Lac Léman). The snow is guaranteed on the top of the mountain (2048m).
Another great winter attraction in Leysin is the Tobboganing park.
We bought the "Alpes Vaudoises" ski forfait witch includes access to Leysin, Les Mosses, la Lécherette, Villars and "Glacier 3000" resorts. We found it interserting if you use at least 2 of thoses places. We went to leysin ski resort and glacier 3000 peak to peak experience.
Very dynamic vilage with local businesses and farming.
We travelled with 2 kids, locals and Tele-Leysin personnel where very kind and helpfull.
The mountain train experience between Aigle and Leysin is beautifull and not at prohibitive prices like in other swiss regions, very cheap.
Leysin is well known as well for the beautifull hiking routes (coup de coeur for Prafandaz route)
Thanks again Olivier For everything !
