Montreux, Town of Music

Situated between Lake Geneva and the Alps, Montreux enjoys a particularly pleasant climate and a gentle way of life, which, even in the 19th century, was already seducing the biggest names in literature and music. Montreux is famous for its gorgeous Belle Epoque buildings, flower- lined quays and the intimate and steep alleyways of its historic centre. In summer, the city vibrates to the sounds of the Montreux Jazz Festival and the Septembre Musical while from late November right through December the quays are suffused with the magic of the festive season guaranteed by the Montreux Christmas Market and the laughter that rings out from the Montreux Comedy Festival

Vevey, Tiwn of Images

With Lake Geneva and the Alps as its backdrop, Vevey discreetly retains its worldly, lavish feel while simultaneously conserving its down-to-earth, working-class soul. Thanks to its historic centre dotted with shops, its quays and bi-weekly traditional markets, the town is the ideal destination for a stroll. Jenisch Museum, Swiss Camera Museum, Alimentarium, Brotherhood of Winegrowers Museum and Chaplin’s World, the range of museums on offer in Vevey is vast and makes the city a major cultural hub. Vevey also hosts the Festival Images, an open-air photography biennial event.

Lavaux, Unescocultural Landscape

Listed as a UNESCO cultural heritage site since 2007, the land stretching from Lutry to Corsier-sur-Vevey has been shaped by human hands since the 11th century. A rich array of wines are produced here, mainly white wine made from Chasselas, the region’s king grape variety. This vineyard boasting 10,000 terraces, interwoven with viticulture paths and dotted with wine-producing villages, has retained its authenticity and integrity, offering an architectural heritage boasting an exceptional richness and diversity
