Montreux: What Awaits You

Montreux is the 'Pearl of the Swiss Riviera' — a lakeside resort famous for the Montreux Jazz Festival (held every July since 1967), the medieval Château de Chillon (Switzerland's most visited historic building), and a mild microclimate that allows palm trees and subtropical gardens to flourish on the lakefront. The legendary Freddie Mercury lived here and a bronze statue on the lakeside promenade honours him. The Rochers-de-Naye cogwheel railway climbs from Montreux to 2,042 metres for panoramic lake and Alpine views. Deep Purple recorded their legendary album 'Machine Head' here after the Montreux Casino fire of 1971 — inspiring the song 'Smoke on the Water'. The lakefront Grand Hotels — the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, the Royal Plaza — date to the Belle Époque era and continue to define the town's elegant character.
