Montreux Lakeside
An oasis of tranquility by the water with breathtaking mountain views

Montreux Lakeside, located on the shores of Lake Geneva in Montreux, Switzerland, is a renowned spot offering serene natural beauty and spectacular panoramic views of the vast lake backed by snow-capped mountains. This picturesque area is a perfect retreat for relaxation, walking, and outdoor activities. The surroundings feature well-kept parks and a blend of classic and modern European architecture, enhancing its charm.

The Montreux Lakeside has been a prominent cultural and leisure destination since the 19th century when Montreux became a favored resort for European aristocrats and famous artists like Friedrich Nietzsche and Charles Dickens. The architecture reflects this rich heritage with Belle Époque-style buildings and luxury hotels lining the waterfront. It also hosts major events such as the world-famous Montreux Jazz Festival, making it a vibrant hub for music, arts, and community gatherings.

The area showcases a harmonious mix of historic and contemporary architecture. Classic European details, like ornate wooden doors and steep roofs, stand alongside modern hotels and restaurants, all offering stunning lake views. The lakeside parks are meticulously maintained, featuring large trees, colorful flowerbeds, and open pathways ideal for walking or cycling. Public art installations and sculptures provide cultural insights and enhance the scenic environment.

Arrived at Montreux, the train station is on the hill, so I could view part of the town. I stayed in Montreux for 2 nights. Coming here with a number of luggages, I'd better check in first, so getting down and finding a bus stop.

In the other side of the lake are mountains. Montreux is a little city with French speaking, but plenty of attractive tourist places. Far away from Montreux, Lavaux is another highlighted places coz the renowned vineyard - UNESCO.

Departed from Zermatt, going to Montreux by a train. Coming close to Geneva Lake, under Montreux riveria which covers Montreux, Vevy and Lavaux. When passing Chateau de Chillon, you would be prepared to drop at Montreux Train Station.
