Montreux guide

A very warm welcome to the Montreux Webcam A good base from which to explore the region, Montreux offers an array of attractions and activities to suit every taste… For lovers of culture and antiquities, a visit to the Castle of Chillon is a must. This imposing 13th C landmark, perched on a rocky outcrop by the lake, and immortalised by Lord Byron in his epic poem “The Prisoner of Chillon" has been beautifully restored. Or, stroll the streets of Montreux and be enchanted by the Victorian architecture. Follow the trials of poets and other celebrities and walk in the footsteps of Hemingway, Nabokov or Miles Davies to name just a few. For train enthusiasts, Montreux offers an intriguing local railway network to explore. Ascend 2’045m by cogwheel train to the Rochers de Naye for fantastic views, or, for scenic grandeur, ride the Panoramic Express through Alpine scenery to the picturesque resort of Gstaad, just 75 minutes away. If you prefer to admire the mountains from afar, board one of the traditional Edwardian steamers that ply the lake. In Summer, plane rides can be organised to enjoy the panoramic views over the mountains from the airbase in Gruyeres. Food and wine lovers will be amply satisfied in this region…you can visit the wine cellars of Lavaux and sample some of the local wines, or the medieval town of Gruyeres, the home of cheese, where we recommend a fondue in one of its charming cafés. If you’d like to try exotic food or Asian fare, from the most simple to the most refined…our chief concierge will be happy to recommend a restaurant. Every year in December, Montreux becomes home to Father Christmas with one of the most beautiful Christmas Markets in Europe – over 120 beautifully decorated chalets offering Christmas gifts and ware. For Music lovers, the world renowned Jazz Festival in July, or the Classical Music Festival in September will certainly be a highlight of your visit to Montreux. Montreux can also help to work off the calories…tennis, cycling, golf and a wide choice of hiking trails are all available in Summer…plus boating and sailing, and not forgetting the more adventurous sports like Para-gliding and water-skiing on lake Geneva.

For those that are addicted to golf, the area offers a wide range of beautiful golf courses, such as Lavaux, Aigle, Villars within impressive surroundings. A Winters stay would not be complete without taking to the slopes, less than an hour away, for skiing, snowboarding and skating in beautiful surroundings. To round off the evening, you can try your luck at the gaming tables in the elegant new Casino Barrière. Sourced with thanks from Royal Plaza - What to do in Montreux.
