Montreux City Guide And Airport Transfer Service

A picture-postcard backdrop can be witnessed at Montreux Riviera, from the lakeside to the hills and wineries. Many musicians, authors, and explorers have been drawn to this genuine mini heaven because it offers peace, tranquilly, and... ideas.

Montreux Riviera, which stretches from Villeneuve to Lutry along the beaches of Lake Geneva, benefits from a weather which offers it a Mediterranean feel. The ambiance is wonderful for unwinding, taking walks, and exploring new places, and the weather is suitable for a rich terrain, which is skillfully nurtured by restaurant operators and winegrowers. The main draw in this area is Lake Geneva, which has a promenade lined with fig, mulberry, almond, and palm trees. Enjoy water rowing or savour delicious Swiss cuisine and wines close to the riverbank eateries.

Monuments constructed of blossoms and vines that represent Swiss fauna and other odd shapes are dotted around the parks at the seaside. The most well-known citizen of the city, Freddie Mercury, has been memorialised by a statue. This statue, which is a must-see, is located right in front of the Covered Bazaar. The Savoy kings constructed Chillon Castle in the 12th century, which is yet another must-see sight. The castle is renowned for its grand design and classic appeal.

Just a few kilometres from the coast, up on the mountains, woodlands dotted with pastures entice hikers to explore the hiking routes, take in the blooming natural gardenia, often referred to as "the snow of May," and take in a scene that changes with the seasons. The very first snowfall happens, signalling the start of Alpine fun on skis, snow boots, or just on foot.

The best museums for non-sporty tourists are Chaplin's World and Chillon Castle. Why not give in to the temptation of taking a trip on a vintage CGN ship or a Belle Epoque train on the GoldenPass line?
