Vacation Rental Description
The apartment is south-facing, light and open with comfortable accommodation for up to 4 people. The double balcony has splendid views to the spectacular Diablerets glacier, the Dents du Midi mountain range, the towns of Villars and Aigle and the Rhone valley.
In winter, it is a perfect location for skiing as Leysin is one of the premier (though yet not fully discovered) ski resorts in Switzerland with great facilities for skiing, snowboarding, ice skating and other winter sports. Spring, summer & winter are also great times to come - the views are spectacular and there is so much for all the family to do.
The apartment is part of a group of units in a quiet area. The ski lifts, ski rental shops, sports centre and supermarket are about 7-10 minutes away on foot or 1 minute by car. It is possible to ski back to the apartment.
Leysin, situated in a premier Swiss wine-growing area, is one of the sunniest villages in Switzerland. There are impressive views of Lake Geneva and the Jura mountains, the Rhone Valley, Dents du Midi, the Diablerets Glacier, Mont Blanc, the Eiger and the Matterhorn.
The village is at an altitude of 1250m with the cable cars reaching to the local skiing areas at 2300m. With various non-Swiss colleges, Leysin has a cosmopolitan air. Although it is part of French-speaking Switzerland, English is widely spoken.
With a variety of winter sports and summer activities, including beautiful walks, it is a great holiday site throughout the year. Nearby are: Lake Geneva, Geneva, CERN, Montreux, Chateaux Chillon, Lausanne, France, Italy, Bex salt mines, Gstaad, Villars, Gruyère (medieval city, cheese factory), Broc chocolate factory, family leisure park, aquapark with beach & yachting, labyrinth, fairy grotto, Rhone valley, panoramic railways, horse riding, golf, health spa.
