Heading to Europe in 2 weeks for a week in Leysin,Switzerland and 20 miles outside of Paris for another week. Looking for pointers/education on general traveling from Paris to Switzerland, around Switzerland and back to Paris. Also,if anyone has specific knowledge of Leysin,Switzerland and good day trips that would be much appreciated. thx

I've been to Martigny and Verbier skiing. Great area! You could day-trip to Verbier and see if the gondolas are running to do some hiking, viewing or the Alps. There's A LOT of ski areas within a few hours that may have summer lifts open still, it's starting to snow at the higher heights, so you'll have to check each area. Lausanne and Geneva are awesome, you can get there by rail or ferry across the lake. Gastaad is another huge favorite, very happening ski town, again, check local conditions while you're there and in the Rick Steve's approved Berner Oberland.
