Elegant lake region with superb scenery
Lake Geneva is an immense lake enjoying
an unusually mild climate, and surrounded
by gentle hillsides covered in vineyards
& gardens. Montreux, the famous town
on its shores, has a wonderful lakeside
promenade lined with palm trees and
flowers. A visit to its well-known
landmark, the charming ‘Chateau de
Chillon’, is a must, whilst visitors
can spend many relaxing days visiting
other places of interest along the
shores of the lake, such as neighbouring
Vevey, the city of Geneva itself,
or Evian-Les-Bains, on the French side
of the lake, either by charming lake steamer, or excellent rail links. Alternatively, take the little mountain train up above Montreux to Rochers de Naye, one of Switzerland’s favourite viewpoints. The Montreux Jazz Festival is scheduled for approx. 4th -19th July.
