Circular Hike in Leysin
Recommended by Sarah Hoefflin
As a freestyle skier, Sarah Höfflin loves the view from above—in winter, when she’s flying through the air on her freestyle skis, and in summer, on hiking trails. Her favorite hike takes her around Leysin, where she also trains regularly. She’s particularly impressed by the view of Lake Geneva, which looks so vast from up here that it almost resembles an ocean. For Sarah, the perfect way to end the day is a visit to the “Le Prafendaz” picnic area, where she loves to watch the sunset.
