Leysin does not owe its fortune or fame
strictly to its potential as a ski resort. It is, if you get
what I mean, no one trick pony.
Besides being an International educational center,
the resort is big on the
congress circuit.
It is a heck of a place to
rest and relax or to be as active as
you want just about any time
of
year. There is a bit of a different heart beating inside
the soul of this multi-tiered
resort.
You see, Leysin has never
crashed through the portals of what might be described as the
big
time. This, despite the fact that it does more bed nights
than
many,
better-known
Swiss resorts.
But
when was the last time you heard somebody from your corner of the
globe say they were flying to Leysin for a ski holiday? Shame that.
Besides lots of visitors, Leysin also has enough skiing to
please most folks we know.
And its elevation is sufficient to allow the resort
to boast a decent snow record. But the place is hard to get a handle on.
Know what I mean? It has a decidedly non-ski resort atmosphere.
