About Montreux
Montreux sits on the north-east shore of Lake Geneva, in the middle of the stretch known as the Swiss Riviera. Its lakeside promenade gives a long view of the Alps and leads to Place du Marché, where a statue of Freddie Mercury faces the water. The terraced vineyards of Lavaux, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are a short drive away, and a cogwheel railway climbs from Montreux to the Rochers-de-Naye viewpoint. Chillon Castle stands on a rocky island about 3 km from town, and you can tour it alone or on a guided visit followed by wine tasting. The Montreux Jazz Festival fills two weeks every July, with free stages alongside the ticketed shows. Our homes are in and around the town rather than in one block. Around half have a sauna or a private pool, many have a fireplace, and most sleep two to four.
Is Montreux right for you?
- Best for
- Lake walks, jazz in July and day trips to Chillon and Lavaux
- Not for you if
- You want a large house for a big group, as homes here mostly sleep two to four.

Getting to Montreux
Geneva Airport is the usual arrival point. Trains run from the airport station to Montreux about every 30 minutes and take roughly 1 hour 20 to 1 hour 40 minutes. The promenade, station and cogwheel railway can be used without a car, though a car helps for homes further from the lake.
When to go to Montreux
July is the busiest month, when the two-week jazz festival takes over the town and free stages draw crowds who are not holding tickets. Book early if you want those weeks. The mild climate, helped by the lake, is part of why Montreux works as a base outside high summer, for castle visits, vineyard walks and the ride up to Rochers-de-Naye.
