Leysin Lodge

Booked here as my husband wanted to look at mountains while having a morning coffee and wow it certainly delivered that. Views are amazing and the balcony got the sun all day. We booked a comfort room. It had 2 bedrooms, one had bunk beds for the kids. The kitchen was well equipped including an oven and coffee machine. The balcony was great and could comfortably fit all 4 of us 2 adults and 2 teens. As well as table and chair to eat at, there were also deckchairs to lounge in. The staff are great, very helpful and friendly. You can also pay and get pastries delivered on a morning. You just pop your form into the reception the day before. The only minor issue is the car park is down the hill, not a problem for me but the kids had a moan. You can take the car up to drop off stuff but then it needs to be parked in the car park. Although the views are fab the downside to this, is that it's located up a few steep hills, going down is ok but it's quite a trek going up. Phew. There is plenty of parking in Leysin for when we were feeling lazy. There are a couple of supermarkets in Leysin, we preferred the Coop and some lovely restaurants. We particularly loved the Turkish Street food and kids loved the pancakes at Creperie des Alpes. We also took the chair lift from the village and drove down into Aigle where there was a festival on and had a great time. Leysin was a great base for exploring the places we wanted to visit. Including Montreux on lake Geneva. We hired a car and never had a problem parking anywhere.

La prise en charge, l’accueil et la disponibilité sont TOP. Tout le charme est d’être pris en moto-neige depuis le parking jusqu’au logement: mes filles ont adoré. Les appartements rénovés sont très accueillants. C’est très sympa de mettre ses skis et partir directement sur les pistes. Très agréable de pouvoir venir avec son chien. Une option géniale est le départ tardif pour une modique somme. Je recommande vivement les Leysin lodge.
