Montreux - the most frequented resort in the southwestern part of Switzerland
Montreux is a municipality and a Swiss town on the shoreline of Lake Geneva at the foot of the Alps. It has a population of about 25,000, and about 85,000 in the agglomeration Vevey-Montreux.
Its natural setting below mountains protecting it from northerly and easterly winds has made Montreux the lake’s most fashionable health resort. A Mediterranean-like microclimate allows palms and flowers to flourish; a lakefront and alpine views are other drawcards.
Montreux Riviera is a land of contrasts. It’s a kind of miniature Switzerland where visitors and locals have been living together for three centuries. The region is especially rich in cultural events, including the unmissable Montreux Jazz Festival.
The Montreux Jazz festival has a world-famous reputation for its diverse and renowned musical performances. Although it was initially a jazz only festival, it has since broadened its musical horizons. It is perhaps most famously immortalized in Deep Purple's "Smoke on the Water".
Château de Chillon, the 13th-century fortress is Switzerland’s most visited historical building and finds its way into several postcards and books about the country’s sights.
With its big tourist turnover and high prices, a picnic lunch in a waterfront park might be Montreux's best bet, especially on Friday mornings when the covered market is crammed with goodies.
A flamboyant statue of Freddie Mercury, bang slap on the waterfront in his trademark strutting pose, is a reminder that Queen recorded several albums in Montreux.
