Montreux: Things to Do
Montreux Lakeside Promenade
Start your Montreux sightseeing by taking a walk along the lakeside promenade, a path that runs the entire length of Montreux.
It begins in Vevey, the town next door, and continues for 13 kilometres, through Montreux and right on to the Château de Chillon (Chillon Castle) at Villeneuve.
Often referred to as the Chemin Fleuri or ‘Flower Path,’ you’ll see blooming flowers, fascinating works of art, and even palms surrounding the glistening lake with the snowy mountains behind it.
Walking along this lovely lakeside promenade is surely one of best things to do in Montreux but of course you don’t have to walk the entire distance.
The Montreux Tourism office is a good place to start. It’s located right beside the lake and the jetty, just a short walk from the train station. Stop in here and pick up a map of Montreux before you start exploring.
You can also board the Petit Train for a 25 minute tour along the lakeshore.
Statue of Freddie Mercury
For fans of the British rock band, Queen, Montreux is a special place. The band’s front-man Freddie Mercury adored Montreux with such passion that he became a resident.
You can visit his statue on the promenade in front of the old covered market, just a short stroll from the Tourist Office. You may recognize the statue from the cover art of Queen’s last studio album, Made in Heaven, recorded in 1995.
The statue is one of the most-loved Montreux attractions and is therefore one of the very popular Montreux places to visit.
If you want a photo of the bronze version of Freddie without other tourists, you’ll need to be patient.
To learn more about Freddie Mercury and his time in Montreux, why not join a guided “In the Footsteps of Freddie Mercury” tour?

Montreux Casino and Queen: The Studio Experience

Continue walking and you’ll come to the Queen studio, Montreux. Out of Queen’s 15 albums, seven of them were recorded at Mountain Studios (it’s official name) which is part of Casino Barrière de Montreux.
The studio – the spiritual home of Queen in Montreux – has been left largely untouched since the last recording in the mid-1990s and provides a chance to discover treasured memorabilia from the band.
Entry to The Studio Experience is free, as is the casino which is upscale and one of the perfect Montreux things to do if you enjoy a flutter.
Open: Barrière Casino de Montreux is located right on the lakeside promenade and is open every day. The Studio Experience is also open daily from 10.30am until 10pm.
Chillon Castle
Address: Avenue de Chillon 21, 1820 Veytaux
Complete your stroll along the Flower Path to the most-visited historical monument in all of Switzerland, Château de Chillon Montreux. Without a doubt, this is one of the most popular places to visit in Montreux.
Like a vision from a fairytale, this stunning fortified castle features a maze of hallways, courtyards, towers, and even prison cells that date back to the 12th century.
Glance across the lake to France for views that have inspired paintings by Turner and writings by Lord Byron, whose name is carved into the Castle’s dungeon walls, and you’ll see why this is one of the most popular Montreux tourist attractions.
Entry to Chillon Castle Montreux costs CHF 13.50 per adult and CHF 7 per child. > Click here to buy your admission ticket. (Entry is free for holders of the Swiss Travel Pass).

Open: Chillon Castle is open every day of the year except 1 January and 25 December. April to September 9am to 6pm; November to March 10am to 5pm.
You can reach the chateau on foot – allow around 45 minutes for the four kilometre walk from Montreux Tourist Office.
Alternatively, Chillon Castle can be reached by boat (disembark at the Chateau de Chillon stop), train (Veytaux-Chillon stop) or bus #201 (Chillon stop) from Montreux.
Cruises on Lake Geneva
Lake Geneva, with the Alps as the predominant backdrop, is a truly spectacular sight to behold.
Onboard a paddle steamer, you can appreciate the beauty of the surrounding scenery and the lakeside towns from the tranquil water. The historic boats connect 40 ports on Swiss and French portions of the lake, a most relaxing form of public transport.
For an unforgettable experience, why not enjoy a gourmet cruise aboard one of these beautiful Belle Époque steamers? It is one of the most popular things to do in Montreux, Switzerland.
Lake cruises depart from the jetty in Montreux, right by the Tourist Office, and are available year round (Sundays only in winter). You can also commence your cruise in Vevey. > Click here to check cruise details and prices.

Lake Geneva water sports
The shores of Lake Geneva are of course among the must-do Montreux places to visit, but the waters themselves provide the location for many Montreux activities too.

If you want to master a new water sport, plenty of tuition is available.
Montreux Jazz Festival
Taking place over a fortnight in July, the Montreux Jazz Festival is another feather in the town’s musical cap – and it’s not all about jazz.
This esteemed music festival has hosted some of the world’s best-known names in music, including the likes of David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Lady Gaga, Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Prince and Van Morrison, as well as jazz stalwarts such as Nina Simone, Miles Davis and Ella Fitzgerald.
The festival is also the subject of Deep Purple’s Smoke on the Water, following the infamous fire that occurred in 1971 during Frank Zappa’s performance, resulting in clouds of smoke over Lake Geneva.
Do book your tickets and hotel early if you plan to go, as the festival is immensely popular. It’s top of many visitors’ Montreux what to do list, especially for the musically-minded.

Chaplin’s World
Address: Route de Fenil 2, 1804 Corsier-sur-Vevey
With both a statue and a museum in his honour, it’s obvious that silent movie star Charlie Chaplin endeared himself to Vevey. When the locals connect their town to famous people Vevey = Charlie Chaplin, Montreux = Freddie Mercury.
Chaplin’s World is devoted to the life of the famed mime, who spent 25 years of his life living in his 14-hectare estate where this unique exhibition is now housed.
Featuring multimedia installations, interactive displays and a huge film studio, visitors can learn more about Chaplin and the famous people who helped shape his career and his life.

Lavaux Vineyards
Wine lovers – and lovers of spectacular views – shouldn’t miss the chance to head to the sunny Lavaux Vineyards, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Almost 10,000 terraced vines intertwine along the hillsides above Lake Geneva for a stretch of 30 kilometres, the longest in the country.
The vines themselves are ages old at nearly one thousand years and have been carefully tended by generations of wine making families.
Numerous attractive villages are dotted amongst the vineyards and one particularly pretty one is St. Saphorin. The village has been recognised as one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland and it’s not hard to see why.
There are a number of ways to explore the vineyards and sample the local drop, including by foot. Guided tours offer the opportunity to hear stories about the past and wine making traditions and secrets.
You can also enjoy a self-guided tour through the vineyards with the assistance of a special app. The 10.4 kilometre walk takes around 4.5 hours and is suitable for prams and bicycles. Find out more about the app here.
If walking is not your thing, you can join a two-hour trolley tour to explore the vines and enjoy the stunning views of the vineyards and lake.
Or discover the terraced vineyards by e-bike on a 3 hour private which includes wine tastings. > Click here to check details and prices.
Or, hop aboard an open-top bus for a four-hour panoramic wine tour. Wander among the terraced grounds of the winery and enjoy a selection of cured meats and cheeses and delicious wine.
Of course if you’re visiting the Lavaux Vineyards, you really must experience a cellar door visit and some wine tastings.
Another great place to enjoy a wine tasting is at Lavaux Vinorama. The cosy bar has over 300 Lavaux wines on display and there’s also a discovery centre.
The Lavaux Vinorama is open daily from May until the end of October and Wednesday to Sunday the rest of the year.

Go on – treat yourself! Note: this is a seasonal experience only.
Gruyères
The lovely medieval village of Gruyères is home to cobbled streets and is famed for its cheese. It also boasts a 13th century château atop the hill at one end of the town.
A visit to a cheese dairy and the Maison Cailler Chocolate Factory make this a wonderful destination for a day trip from Montreux.
From May to the end of September, you can take the Chocolate Train from Montreux to Gruyères for a different tasting experience.
This specialty train trip include visits to both cheese and chocolate factories and free time in Gruyères, and is a full day excursion.

Holders of a Swiss Travel Pass travel free on the GoldenPass Line and regular trains, and they receive a discounted fare on the Chocolate Train.
Gruyères is 40 minutes by car from Montreux.
If you don’t have your own car but would like to visit both Gruyères and the Maison Cailler factory at Broc, we highly recommend you consider a private tour.
The two towns have no direct public transport links so getting from one to the other by yourself involves a walk of around 30 minutes plus a bus ride, or a bus and a train ride. Travelling with a private driver/guide is much more hassle-free.
Lantern Trail of Les Pléiades
If your visit coincides with winter, then one of the top things to do in Montreux, Switzerland is to take to a very special lantern-lit trail. The first part of this magical journey involves catching the train from Vevey to Les Pléiades station via Blonay.
At Les Pléiades you can don snowshoes before following the snowy trail. The way is marked by a series of lanterns, which gives the entire experience something of an ethereal, magical feel.
If you’re with a loved one, it can be incredibly romantic.
Most folks who take Les Pléiades Lantern Trail also enjoy sampling a Swiss fondue at the restaurant before making their way back to Montreux or Vevey.
Rochers-de-Naye
At 2,042 metres above sea level, the rocky balcony of Rochers-de-Naye offers spectacular views over Lake Geneva, the Swiss Alps and the Jura mountains.

Narcissus trails
Anyone wondering what to see in Montreux and Vevey should know about the local Narcissus trails. If your Swiss holiday is taking place during April or May, then you should be in luck.
Known locally as the ‘May snow’, hordes of wild, white narcissi cover the Alpine meadows during spring each year, and this phenomenon was even immortalised in print thanks to Ernest Hemingway.
Visitors can take a guided tour of the flower-filled meadows, or make their own way by following the marked trails. The treat extends beyond only the visual, as the narcissi emit a glorious scent that pervades the entire landscape.
There are also other delightful Swiss flora to see, smell and capture on camera.
A local attraction since the days of the Belle Epoque, this is without doubt one of the best things to do in Montreux during spring.
