Getting to Leysin

How to get to Leysin in Switzerland

Geneva Airport is the closest airport. The train station is at the airport. The train journey takes around 2 hours, is very scenic and follows the shore of Lake Geneva, passing through Vevey and Montreux before you reach Aigle. Here you change trains onto the cog railway that goes up the mountainside to Leysin.

From Zurich Airport the journey takes around 4 hours by train.

By road from the UK allow around 10 hours from the Channel.

The Hotel La Tour d'Ai is easy to find.

Get off the tram from Aigle at 'Leysin Village' and follow Google Maps to the hotel and walk left on the main road through the old village of Leysin past the Fromagerie (wooden cow outside). The hotel is on the right of the main road into Leysin just after passing through the old village. It is about a 15-minute walk.

You can also take the ‘navette’ bus one stop from the Maison Commune (just on the road 100m from the station) to La Croissee. You can walk from here.

Learned loads and acclimatised well during the course. Its obviously been very carefully planned. Guiding and Instruction was excellent. Anders was fantastic throughout and made the whole course really good fun. A very professional instructor with a great sense of humour. Highly recommended.

What a brilliant week we had! I really enjoyed the fact that the course was very hands on and we were given freedom and responsibility to look after ourselves. I really like the fact that the price was all-inclusive, the the course was excellent value for money!
