The train journey takes around 2 hours, is very scenic and follows the shore of Lake Geneva, passing through Vevey and Montreux before you reach Aigle. Here you change trains onto the cog railway that goes up the mountainside to Leysin.

From Zurich Airport the journey takes around 4 hours by train.

The Grand Chalet Hotel is easy to find. Get off the train at 'Station Grand Hotel' (the highest station), turn left and walk downhill for about 2 minutes until you reach the hotel. Alternatively, you can also get off the train at the larger 'Feydey' Station and walk uphill (around 7 minutes). There are usually taxis outside the station.

Testimonials For ISM

This was a fantastic trip. Paolo was excellent. The accommodation great. All helped along by wall to wall sunshine, stunning arctic scenery and some superb snow, so no problems as far as I'm concerned.

Thanks for a fantastic week. It was really one of the best things I have ever done. I learned a lot during the week, not only about climbing technique, but also about attitude.
