A long time ago, Leysin was a thermal spa popular with aristocrats. Today, Leysin still holds the mystique associated with this once luxurious destination. The ski area is like the resort--peaceful and high quality. At the top of the slopes, there is a great view of the Eiger and Lake Leman. As you go farther down towards the bottom, the runs gently wind through the forest. But, Leysin is hardly a dull resort. The great off-piste runs, a snowboard world cup, and a very extensive independent ski area are sure to add spice to your holiday.
