Switzerland)
or Montreux accommodation? This idyllic little town is tucked away in Lake Geneva Bay and is surrounded by gorgeous vineyards and sits nestled against the backdrop of the snow covered Alps. It boasts with an exceptionally mild climate and is thus called the capital of the Vaud Riviera. Plants you would think are only found in the Mediterranean, like palm trees and pines, are perfectly at home here.
There are a few things to see and do when you visit Montreux and one of them is the annual two week long Montreux Jazz Festival held in June/July. Lakeside strolls along the flowered promenade are a particular favorite amongst people who enjoy beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Keep on strolling and you are sure to find the Chillon Castle still standing in all its glory. A bit further on and you will find the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, dating back from the heyday of the Belle Époque. Not all is old, pay a visit to the Montreux Music and Convention Center. Moreover, if you are a Freddy Mercury fan you will be delighted to see a bronze statue of the man himself right in the middle of the Place du Marché
In the summer time, the lakes are a perfect place for swimming, water sports and going on a cruise. Along the promenade, there are several jazz and piano bars, superb restaurants, a dance club or two and Switzerland’s oldest casino. There are hiking trails, caves and grottos to explore. There is even an odd little compound called Marmot’s Paradise where, you guessed it, marmots from all over the world go about their daily business for all to witness. If you are fit and experienced enough you should tackle the 1000-meter climb up Rochers-De-Naye from where you will be greeted with a view unlike any other. For the not so fit there is the option of getting off at Dente-De-Jaman wit a similar view but without the clutching the chest in an attempt to breathe bit. For the rest of us there is a rack railway to get us there without breaking a sweat. In winter, Rochers-De-Nay offers skiing and other snow/ice activities. Moreover, if you come during Christmas time you will have the opportunity to shop at one of the most beautiful Christmas Markets you are likely to find.
Of the 21 or so hotels, the ones that came highly recommended based on affordability and quality were the Best Western Eurotel Riviera and the Hotel Eden Palace Au Lac amongst others, but then again none were given bad reviews. In fact, the whole town will put a smile on your face; you just need to look around. - Browse the Montreux Map or compare Montreux accommodation from Hotels, Motels, B&Bs,
