Set between lake and mountains on the Swiss Riviera, Montreux is known for its elegant atmosphere, mild microclimate, and beautiful flora, as well as its rich cultural life shaped by its world-famous jazz festival.

This private experience brings together the charm of Montreux with a visit to the 13th-century Chillon Castle, Switzerland’s most visited historic monument and a place that has inspired poets, writers and artists for centuries.

Strolling along the lakeside promenade, where the jazz festival takes place each summer, Montreux reveals its unique character through palm-lined paths, Belle Époque architecture and the iconic Freddie Mercury statue overlooking the lake. From here, we gradually make our way toward the old town,  where the atmosphere shifts from lively waterfront to quieter historic streets, revealing hidden corners, historic houses and sweeping views over the lake come into view.

The experience continues along the shoreline to the castle, where you explore independently at your own pace, following a self-guided route with the option of an audio guide.

Thoughtfully paced and entirely private, this experience blends scenery, culture and local insight into a seamless and memorable journey.
