Leysin combines a great landscape, lower prices, and a lively atmosphere, so what's the rub? This is: a near total lack of public transport once you get off the train. The free village bus navette circulates once per hour, during the Winter end Dec. - beg. April and Summer mid-June - mid-Sept. seasons. Luckily it's not much trouble to walk to most places for a healthy young traveller, or for that matter for anybody who's used to it. Disabled travelers might opt for a better equipped if pricier mountain getaway in perhaps Zermatt or Verbier.
If all else fails you can get a cab from Taxi ABC (http://www.leysin.ch/abc) 024 493 22 93 or Taxi Kojak 024 494 25 55.
The TeleLeysin cable car (http://www.teleleysin.ch) runs both summer and winter.
