Montreaux Hotels for Holiday in Switzerland

Located on Lake Geneva, Montreux is known as the capital of the Vaud Riviera because of its exceptionally mild climate. The spectacular lake front in Montreux leads to the famous Chillon Castle and is full of beautiful buildings from the golden era of the Belle Epoque and lively restaurants, piano and jazz bars, hotels, discotheques and casino.

Montreux is also famous for the Montreux Jazz Festival – held every year in June and July with famous jazz, blues, rock and soul artists – and for one of Switzerland's most important convention and exhibition centres.

During the summer holidays in Montreux, you can take exciting boat cruises to the most picturesque spots on the lake and practise all types of water sport. A rack railway connects Montreux with Rocher de Naye at 2,040 m, where you can enjoy spectacular view overlooking Lake Geneva and the Alps. The Montreux Christmas Market is also one of the most fascinating and popular markets in Switzerland.
