| TITLE: Leysin Ski Area |
|
NOTES: East of Geneva and southwest of Bern, the Leysin Ski Area has 14 lifts serving 29 runs with a maximum vertical of 1,000m. Leysin is best suited to beginner skiers and snowboarders but there is some terrain for both expert and intermediates. It has become very popular with snowboarders who have kind of taken over the mountain. Leysin connects with two other alpine villages, Les Diablerets and Villars.
The nearest train station is in Aigle.
Note: If you plan to head to Leysin for snowboarding by train, here are two great options offered by the Swiss train system SBB. First, there is the discounted Swiss Transfer Ticket which provides a round-trip train ticket from an airport directly to the town near the ski area, plus 50% off any additional train or bus tickets. Second, there is the Snow-N-Rail ticket which provides a round-trip ticket from anywhere in Switzerland combines with a ski lift pass for as long as you need at a total 20% discount (see: http://www.sbb.ch/snownrail ).
