The village is pretty, with traditional wooden buildings at its core, but there are a few bigger hotels to be found above the centre. There’s a popular and long winter walking trail linking Leysin and Les Mosses, along with a good selection of rustic mountain restaurants.

Totals expected for this weekend across Switzerland have been increased slightly from previous predictions, and additionally we should now see steady snowfall throughout this weekend and the start of the new week instead, albeit across higher elevations only.
A series of low pressure systems come barrelling in off the Atlantic, bringing unsettled conditions and cold weather to much of the continent and British Isles. The first of these skirts over the top of the Alps over the weekend, before two more move in at the start of next week. Temperatures will start the weekend bitterly cold, with -15°C at 2,000m possible and probable. Around 10cm is expected over this weekend, rising to 20cm in the East of the country, falling mostly at higher elevations as the freezing line climbs quickly from sea level to around 2,000m.
The second system will move in on Monday afternoon, bringing much the same result albeit with higher totals. Beginning in the West on Monday afternoon, up to 50cm could fall overnight Monday to Tuesday, dropping to around a foot by the time this reaches the eastern part of the country. This will be limited to higher elevations as, whilst the freezing line does drop momentarily, it will remain camped out at 2,000m throughout this period.
Finally, the third system will hit westerly resorts on Wednesday, with about a foot expected down. A few floccons will fall in the east, but unsettled conditions will continue throughout the week across the country.
