Destination introduction
Spring and summer in elegant Montreux produce a fusion of scent and colour, superb scenery, an unusually mild climate, beautiful lakeside gardens and cafés. Located on the Swiss Riviera in the French speaking part of Switzerland and nestled in a sheltered Lake Geneva bay surrounded by vineyards, you cannot fail to be impressed with this sophisticated town. The long flower bordered lake promenade links Vevey and Montreux and is ideal for a picturesque stroll and in the summer the lake is ideal for bathing, watersports and cruises. Soak up the romance of the ‘Chateau de Chillon,’ enjoy concerts, festivals and art exhibitions, and pick up the lake steamer for day trips to Lausanne and Geneva.
