Charming Swiss town on the shore of Lake Geneva

On the eastern tip of Lake Geneva, also known as “Lac Léman”, discover the small but bustling Swiss town of Montreux.

With history dating back to the Bronze Age, Montreux boasts many important heritage sites. You can explore the ancient Château de Chillon, a 13th-century castle with gothic dungeons that inspired Lord Byron’s poem The Prisoner of Chillon.

For music fans, the iconic Montreux Mountain Studios is where the band Queen recorded some of their most beloved material. Not only that, but the annual Montreux Jazz Festival is the second largest in the world!

In summer, wander along the long promenade and admire the view of Lake Geneva. You can take a dip in the turquoise waters, or hop on a boat tour to visit other lakeside towns. Montreux is also a popular watersports hub if it’s thrills you’re seeking!

The famous narcissus hiking trails are close by, covered with flowers in springtime. If you’re visiting in winter, explore the traditional markets of Montreux Noël under twinkling lights or experience a mountainside lantern trail through a winter wonderland.
