If you are in Lausanne, go see the Olympic Museum. It is awesome.
Lausanne is a beautiful city, filled with young people, mostly university students. I definitely recommend going there, and the nightlife is fun as well.
Gryon is one of the most amazing places in the world and I highly recommened a visit.
Leysin is the best place in the world -- a wonderful little place to be.
I backpacked around Europe for six weeks last year with a friend, and Gryon was by far our favourite place. Even if you plan on staying there a day, you will stay for a week.
Gryon Its an awsome place. If you plan to stay for a couple of days watch out... it will suck you in for weeks!
