Montreux

Montreux is best known in Switzerland for the Montreux Jazz Festival, founded in 1967 and staged each July on the shores of Lake Geneva. The town follows the lake’s eastern shore beneath the slopes of the Vaud Alps, in a mild setting long associated with grand hotels and waterfront promenades. Château de Chillon, a medieval fortress built on a rocky island just outside town, ranks among Switzerland’s most visited historic monuments. Montreux also has a place in rock history: Queen recorded albums at the town’s Mountain Studios. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Montreux and the Vaud Riviera.
