Leysin

Leysin is a laid back, non-posh, non-pretentious Swiss mountain village in the Vaud Alps, roughly above and one mountain over from Montreux. It also happens to be the site of a ski resort with great off piste possibilities.

Live music is no stranger with an active Blues Club (Summet du Blues), to provide live music year round, open mike nights at the Yeti Bar, and always the impromptu jam if you can find them. When here stroll down the Rue du Commerce and check out the bohemian galleries, yet another side of this sleepy town. 

All that and the Kuklos (2,048 m), a mountain top revolving restaurant. The panorama includes all of the Alps Vaudois and a unique 360° panorama of Alpine peaks: Eiger, Mont-Blanc, Matterhorn and Dents du Midi.
