Montreux

Montreux, with just over 22,000 residents, located in the Swiss canton of Vaud, is easily reached by rail or road. Geneva Cointrin Airport is only 100km (60 miles) away. Beautifully situated on the east bank of Lake Geneva (Lac Léman), Montreux enjoys the Vaud Alps as its panoramic backdrop.

Montreux Jazz Festival attracts Europe-wide attention each summer. Overwhelmingly French-speaking, Montreux is one of Switzerland's most important tourist cities, boasting palatial hotels, a casino and a conference centre right on the banks of Lake Geneva. There is an 8km (5 mile)-long walking path to Villeneuve, running past the Château de Chillon. The summit of the Rochers de Naye, at 2,042m (6,700ft), is reachable by cog railway and offers a gorgeous lake view and Alpine panorama.
