About Les Mosses
The Plateau des Mosses– La Lécherette ski area is connected to that of Leysin : A bus will take you to either resort in less than 10 minutes. These three interconnected ski areas offer no fewer than 100 km of downhill ski runs, including 55 km of blue runs, 42 km of red runs, and 3 km of black runs. If you’d like to try night skiing, a floodlit run in the nearby village of La Forclaz will let you enjoy a run after dark! The Swiss Ski and Snowboard School offers lessons for all ages and skill levels, both private and group sessions. Children have access to a large snow garden, “Les Mosses Parc,” where they can learn to ski safely on small, gently sloping runs. Access to this park is free for all children up to age 9.
Cross-country skiers have 42 km of classic and skating trails in the Espace Nordique. If you enjoy ski touring, the possibilities around the resort are endless, whatever your level and ability! Ask the local guides which route suits you best and, if necessary, go with one of them, as the routes are not marked. If you prefer snowshoeing, eight trails ranging from 1 to 9 km in length await you around the resort. You can even try a dog-sled ride on the Les Mosses – La Lécherette plateau.
If you love sliding, you can enjoy great toboggan runs on the slopes near the centre of Les Mosses, at the foot of the pistes near the snow garden, or in the heart of the village of La Lécherette. You can also try snowtubing on one of the two runs in the centre of Les Mosses. The runs are floodlit, so you can enjoy them at night too.
If you are looking for a real thrill and hold a diving licence, why not try ice diving in Lac Lioson, at 1,850 m in the heart of an impressive mountain cirque? Sessions are offered every weekend by diving clubs. Thrills guaranteed!
Every winter, several sporting and cultural events take place, the best known being the International Sled Dog Race, which attracts 70 mushers from all over Europe every year. Ask the Tourist Office for details. The resort offers a wide choice of accommodation, including hotel-restaurants, apartments and chalets for rent, group accommodation, guest rooms, gîtes and mountain huts. Be sure to try the cheeses and local specialities in the resort's restaurants and inns. One of them, L'Auberge de la Poste, serves game menus until early winter.
