Montreux

A Lake Geneva shore town in the Swiss canton of Vaud, Montreux sits at the foot of the Alps with a walkable waterfront, a dense food-and-drink scene, and scenic viewpoints across the water and into the mountains. The wider region, known as the Swiss Riviera, is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites and lined with Belle Époque hotels and palaces. A tourist draw since the 19th century, the town benefits from a mild climate unusual for its Alpine setting.
