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.
