montreux

5 – 11 June 2019
Montreux, Switzerland

The lakeside resort of Montreux is one of the best places to enjoy Switzerland. Surrounded by nature and on the banks of Lac Léman, its buzzing with lively culture and a vibrant arts scene.

Montreux Riviera is a real corner of paradise, which has attracted many artists, literati and travellers in search of natural beauty, peace and inspiration. Indeed, it was certainly not by chance that Charlie Chaplin chose to spend the last 25 years of his life on the hillside behind Vevey, or that Freddie Mercury immortalized Lake Geneva and the peaks of the Grammont on the cover of his album “Made in Heaven”, or that Stravinski composed the “Rite of Spring” at Montreux, or that the singer Prince declared his love for Lavaux in a song called after the famous terraced vineyard, part of the UNESCO World Heritage.

A Mediterranean-like microclimate allows palms and flowers to flourish; a lakefront and alpine views are other drawcards. Wonderful Chillon Castle is Switzerland's most visited and the town's lakefront setting, backed by vineyards and mountains, is gorgeous.
