My day in Montreux
We are off on a day trip to Montreux, a charming little town on the lake that has become world famous for its jazz festival. Arriving by train, we go down the couple of steps that separate us from the platform and we already know why this place is called “the pearl of Lake Geneva”. There are flowers everywhere, an incredible view over the nearby mountains and numerous buildings in Belle Epoque style that give you the feeling you have stepped back in time. Let’s go and find out what lies behind the fantastic first impression!
The Old Town of Montreux, its cobbled streets and winemakers’ houses from the 18th century. Located about 15 minutes on foot from the lake shore, on the slopes, it is the perfect place for a lazy stroll.
A real icon of the region,the Chateau de Chillonhas had pride of place on its little rocky island since the 12th century. It is the most visited historic monument in Switzerland.
