Leysin

Leysin lies above the Rhône Valley in the Vaud Alps, on a sunny mountainside beneath La Berneuse and Tour d’Aï. The resort faces across the lower valley toward the Valais Alps, with slopes used for winter sports and summer walking. In the early 20th century, Leysin gained international recognition for its tuberculosis sanatoria; several substantial alpine buildings from that era still shape the townscape. It also has an international student community, including the Leysin American School and a Swiss hospitality school. The Aigle–Leysin rail line links the resort with Aigle in the Rhône Valley.
