Our family of 4 had a great skiing vacation at Ben’s chalet: 2 adults and two boys aged 4 and 8. We went by train (no car). The walking distance to the lift was alright, especially when using the Hefti sports lockers for our skis and boots so we didn’t have to carry them. Supermarket, train, bakery and restaurants are a 10-15 mins walk away. A bit of a climb but good exercise. Everyone in Leysin was so friendly. Would love to come back. The chalet was nice and with good space. Well equipped, nice beds. Great view. Just a bit of trouble with the radiators but Ben promised to fix it soon. Only small disadvantage was that the skiing area only offers one green/beginner piste, and its not that easy to access. Either you walk quite a bit uphill (with skis) or you drive up to the starting point. Since we didn’t have a car we struggled a bit the first days. After that, we took the lift up to the blue pistes and all was fine (except for the rain one day, not Ben’s fault :-). The restaurant La fromagerie offers really nice cheese-dishes! :-)
