Montreux

Montreux is one of the most important cities on Lake Geneva. Located only about an hour from the city of Geneva, it is a fascinating, lakeside city with a unique Alpine panorama. With the mild climate, luxury hotels from the Belle Epoque and modern conference centres, Montreux is a very attractive and lively city for your holidays!

Montreux is world-renowned for its Jazz Festival, one of Europe's most important music festivals. For over 40 years, music fans have gathered in Montreux on Lake Geneva to enjoy and experience legendary artists and acts, such as Freddie Mercury, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Keith Jarrett, B.B. King, Sting, Phil Collins and many others! The Jazz Festival isn't the only popular event in Montreux, however - various cultural shows, such as classical music concerts and beloved theatre performances, round out the wonderful seasonal entertainment schedules.

During a holiday in this exciting city, you can enjoy the perfect combination of sports, relaxation and cultural events. Montreux has an extensive list of places of interest: museums, ski trips in the Alps, boot trips on Lake Geneva, dinners in the medieval castle, a visit to the casino or simply relaxing in your luxury Golf-Hotel René Capt.

And special in December: the Montreux Christmas Market!
With its inviting atmosphere, artistic displays and exciting offers, it is a strong competitor to the famous Christmas Markets in Strasbourg and Colmar.

We especially recommend the Finnish town on the lake shore, which was rebuilt in 2006 - a new attraction that you can really look forward to!
