Intro

Left beside the Dents du Midi you catch a glimpse of the majestic Mont Blanc, while looking right the Diablerets and mighty Matterhorn – and between the Col du Pillon and Col des Mosses you spy the Eiger. The mountain above Leysin and Aigle is famous for the “Kuklos” revolving restaurant – from the Greek for “circle” or “rotation”.

The round glass construction, 750m above Vaud’s Leysin holiday resort, (Kuklos in Greek meaning "Ring") takes on its mountain neighbour’s Tour d'Aï and Tour de Mayen.The seemingly futuristic panorama restaurant revolves under the power of self-produced solar energy, achieving full-circle in 90 minutes.

The Berneuse is accessible by cable car from Leysin; there are successive projects to extend the cog railway from Aigle – where trains to Les Diablerets and Ollon/Champéry depart – all the way to the Berneuse.

Hikes to the mountain lakes, Le Temeley alpine cheese-making dairy, mountain-bike routes, challenging via ferrata and interesting renewable energy trail.
