Based on the resort's altitude and historical snow reliability
A resort on a human scale, Leysin focuses on the quality of its welcome and its proximity rather than on impressive figures. Its 60 km of runs are ideal for a 3- to 4-day stay, especially for families or skiers who don't need to constantly change their playground. Leysin's family reputation is well deserved: dedicated beginner areas, a well-organised childcare service, well-groomed green runs and a friendly atmosphere at the foot of the lifts. It is one of the most reassuring resorts in the Northern Alps for laying the foundations of skiing with children. Leysin's altitude (1,250 m at the base, 2,198 m at the top) allows it to maintain decent snow cover through midwinter. January and February are the most reliable months; in December and March, it is worth checking conditions before finalising a booking. A stay in Leysin is clearly expensive: a 72€ day lift pass, plus accommodation and mountain restaurants that are among the priciest in the Alps. It is the price of excellence, but you should be aware of it before you set off. In short, Leysin keeps its promises. A Northern Alps resort that will suit most profiles without disappointing.
