Leysin is close to the cities of Montreux (Montreux Jazz Festival), Lausanne, and Geneva, which lie on the shores of Lake Geneva (Lac Leman). You can walk, swim, barbeque, paddle boat and sail. Leysin's neighbouring mountain resorts are Les Mosses (ski link to Leysin), Villars, Chateau d’Oex (February hot air ballooning), Gstaad and Les Diablerets (glacier skiing). There is a golf course, an adventure ropes park and a beautiful Castle just down the valley in Aigle. In Montreux, just along the lake, visit Chillon Castle where the poet, Byron, carved his name in the dungeon. On the other side of Aigle, towards Evian, take your kids to Acquapark or the Steam Train Park and Miniature Village (Swiss Vapeur Parc) by the lake at Le Bouveret. For Roman ruins, visit Martigny and it's neighbours, Sion and Sierre. For a relaxing treat, soak in the nearby thermal baths of Lavey Les Bains.
