What makes this experience so
special?
Stroll along flower-filled promenades and cobblestone streets while uncovering the stories that shaped Montreux, from its beginnings as a small hamlet to its rise as a retreat for royalty, artists and musicians.
This tour offers a thoughtful introduction to Montreux and everyday life on the Swiss Riviera: unhurried, personal and far beyond the postcards.
Famous for its mild climate, the Montreux Jazz Festival and legendary residents such as Freddie Mercury, Montreux offers a unique blend of natural beauty, music history and rich cultural heritage.
Set on the shores of Lake Geneva, the town is known for its elegant Belle Époque architecture and breathtaking scenery, yet once you slow down and explore it on foot, Montreux reveals a much more intimate side.
