We are a family of 7. 2 adults and 5 children aged from 16 to 2. We are hard to please, having worked in the hotel/entertainments industry in the past! We do not praise lightly.
The hotel has a number of large family rooms Ideal for 4/5 people and the front facing rooms have the most amazing views. The half board option is good value for money. After a long day on the slops it is great to be able to enjoy good food of an evening without leaving the hotel.
This is very much a family hotel....Very clean, a home from home. There is a small lounge and bar area, small garden, and a Jacuzzi. The position of the hotel is not for the faint hearted! This is the highest point in Leysin. The car drive to the hotel through the village in the snow can be a challenge; snow chains can be required…. But the views are fab! From the hotel you are able to walk 100 yards, put on the ski’s and go down the small nursery slope, onto the bottom of the main run and you are within seconds at the bottom of the ski lift. A courtesy bus brings you back to the top at the end of the day.
We love Leysin, and the closeness of other resorts which share the ski pass which is just a short 10 mins drive.
We have stayed at this wonderful family hotel on at least 10 occasions. We consider the owners the Bonelli family as one of our family. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Last year they got up at 4.30 am to drive us down through the village in a huge snow storm, just make sure we were safe…..We are booked again for Feb 2007…and can’t wait !!!!!!!!!!!

If you are looking for a large modern town centre hotel, don’t book Le Grand Chalet!
