Travel to Leysin

Travel to Leysin is quick and straightforward from Geneva Airport with a journey time of less than 2 hours. The railway platform is situated immediately below the airport lobby and English is spoken at the ticket office. A scenic train journey around the shore of Lake Geneva (Lac Leman), passing Vevey, Montreux and the striking Chateau de Chillon, brings you to the town of Aigle just beyond the lake. Here you cross the platform to connect with a cog railway going straight up the mountainside to Leysin.
