Montreux Must-Sees

Montreux, situated on the shores of Lake Geneva, combines musical heritage with Alpine scenery. The town houses the Queen Studio Experience, where the band recorded several albums, and a bronze statue of Freddie Mercury overlooking the water. Historic sites include the 15th-century Château du Châtelard and the steep, cobblestone streets of the Old Town. For panoramic views of the Swiss and French Alps, a cog railway ascends to the 2,042-meter summit of Rochers-de-Naye.
