After the powpow video, check out this video I found from guys having a blast doing downhill mountain biking in Leysin. Same slopes, different way to express your creativity. Leysin is my crazy playground!
in the mean while check out this cool video from Nico Vaudroz, the second best known rider from Leysin after Tonton Holland(or not?), riding his Dupraz board in last season’s fresh powpow! Oh by the way this video is on Zapiks a great french extreme sports video community. Learn more about it here.
The first ever CCrew snowboard movie. From 2002, this movie is whatever!
It was filmed in Leysin and Les Diablerets in nov 2002.
It’s more about having fun with friends than going huge…

Found this video on youtube. You have a nice view over the Kuklos and Berneuse, than the Chaux de Mont (where the half pipe is visible on the left), the village and finally the Dents du Midi with the Mont Blanc mountain range at the back.
Ha ha! This cow made us laugh! We spend a few days in Leysin for some hikes and bike rides. We went to Lac Lioson which is a beautiful lake on the way up to Pic Chaussy. This is where we met her, the only cow chilling her legs out on a patch of eternal snow. Otherwise more pictures of flora and fauna are here. Remi & Marie c’etait bien cool de passer! Wyatt Earp, bing bing, si t’as pas 10000 dollars ben..tu peux pas poser de sortileges.
A view from the balcony this morning in Leysin. 6 cm of fresh snow and more to come in the next days. Summer skiing will be good this year!
On May 5 and 6 it’s the Solar days, a good opportunity to go visit the houses and installations of some foreseeing people in Switzerland who use the sun’s energy for their homes energy needs. Presented in the picture above is the chalet of M. Dulex from Leysin who is the guy behind meteoleysin. His chalet uses a self made state of the art solar installation which covers for the entire needs in energy and heating.
You can find here the list of all houses/installation to visit around Switzerland and read this or this to take some consciouness about the stakes.
Sweek is like Swatch It’s a contraction of swiss and week! We are spending a week in Leysin to enjoy the last days of the winter season on the slopes. We were joined by Erwann and Delphine. It’s starting to be some kind of tradition (2 years is a row! weeee!), the four of us in the mountains for the long eastern w-e. However we have been unlucky with the weather, only managing to get a couple of hours of snowboarding on slushy snow before the rain invited itself for the rest of the w-e. So we had to find other distractions and we were good : day spa, skateshops hoping, a lot of cheese eating (raclette rules), drinking and partying with the locals for the season closing night, eating ice cream (Mövenpick rules), ice skating, watching movies….
All in all it was a great active and easy w-e with the “blackponpon”. Erwann and Delphine are getting married in October, and it was cool spending quality time with them. They are sooo good together! You can witness it here.
Le glacier des Diablerets is just a 20 minute drive away from Leysin. Last saturday, the snow was still fresh and there were very few people. We made it in the first cabin up to enjoy the powpow and then a good soup in the Yeti’s house.
Check out the unfamous road gap on the intro picture.
Just for info, in April, the Demonium crew is organising its Masta Camps on the glacier. The park looks allready great…
