The route: 33 km, ending with a winding climb
From Montreux, we head to Aigle across the Rhône plain, then take the mountain road up to Leysin. The last few kilometres are a series of hairpin bends that call for careful driving, especially in winter. Our drivers have been driving these roads for many years, summer and winter.
Allow about 35 minutes door to door. We pick you up from your hotel, your flat or Montreux station.

Taxi or train: the difference when you have luggage
By train, you have to get off in Aigle and take the Aigle–Leysin rack railway, then make your way to your accommodation from the station at the top. That is pleasant without luggage, far less so with suitcases, skis or children.
By taxi, it is one single journey with no connections, and the driver loads and unloads your belongings. Already in Aigle? The climb on its own costs CHF 65 in the E-Class: see our Taxi Leysin page.
A day's skiing in Leysin from Montreux
Staying on the Riviera and keen to ski in Leysin for the day? Book two journeys: up in the morning, back down in the late afternoon. The total is the same as a return trip: CHF 250 in the E-Class or CHF 316 in the V-Class.
- With four of you in the E-Class, that comes to CHF 62.50 per person for the day.
- Tell us when you would like to come back; any change can be sent by WhatsApp.
- Let us know how many pairs of skis you have so everything fits in the vehicle.
Choosing between the E-Class and the V-Class
The Mercedes E-Class Estate takes 1 to 4 passengers and a maximum of 4 suitcases, for CHF 125. The Mercedes V-Class carries up to 7 passengers and 10 suitcases, for CHF 158. In both cases, the price covers the whole vehicle.
Need a child seat or a stop on the way, for example to pick up some shopping in Aigle before heading up? Mention it in your booking message. Prices are indicative and confirmed when you book.
Booking and other departure points
Book by phone or WhatsApp on +41 76 488 99 14: you speak directly to the driver. The online form is confirmed quickly. If you are flying into Geneva, see our Geneva Airport to Leysin transfer instead.
The journey also runs in the other direction, at the same price: from Leysin, we take you down to Montreux for an evening by the lake, an appointment or a train from Montreux station. In your message, give us the exact address in Leysin, the time you would like and the number of bags. We are available 24/7, including for a late return after a concert on the Riviera.
