With a population of 26,280, Montreux is the 3rd largest city in the Canton of Vaud. Nestling between the lake and the mountains, Montreux’s privileged geographical location has made it a choice tourist and convention resort and the home to many famous residents, festivals and cultural events. Blessed by a Mediterranean climate, the region features historic castles, vibrant towns, lovely countryside and charming hotels – making it the ideal destination for dream holidays as well as demanding business trips. Lavaux vineyard, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2007, is the jewel of Montreux Riviera. The region’s history comes to life inside the walls of Chillon Castle, where the secrets of an eventful mediaeval past are revealed; visitors can also relive the more recent Belle Epoque era on board a CGN steamer or at one of the luxurious hotels in the area. Celebrities have always been captivated by this region’s beauty. Stars flock to the Montreux Jazz Festival, whereas Chaplin preferred the tranquillity of his manor house, now converted into a museum.
