Leysin

People mainly come to Leysin to Do things like skiing, mountainbiking, or horseback riding. That said, there are a couple of sites worthwhile for the casual traveler, even on a lunchtime excursion from Montreux or Lausanne

The Berneuse Cable-Car
Place Large, about 100m east from the Leysin-Feydey station
024 494 16 35
18 Chf round trip during the summer, 42 Chf for adults, 30 Chf for a half day during the ski season

The views on the ride up are nearly as spectacular at those from the top. On a clear day you can take in Mt. Blanc, the Eiger, and Lausanne from this perch above Lac Leman.
