WELCOME TO MONTREUX RIVIERA! Let yourself inspire from the variety and beauty of the Swiss Riviera. Experience 200 years of tradition in tourism! Montreux has hosted many celebrities during the last century. Igor Strawinski has been inspired to compose; Freddie Mercury loved the peaceful atmosphere of the region and recorded his last album here; Montreux – capital of music – and home of the famous Montreux Jazz Festival and the classic festival Septembre Musical. Many other events such as the christmas market, the Montreux Comedy Festival or the Montreux Volley Masters just to name a few. The milk chocolate has been invented in Vevey by the family Cailler and is still sold in the same name all over the world. Although Vevey is home of Callier and Nestlé, it has not lost its charm. Vevey’s old town is worth a visit as well as its museums and theatres. A gourmet’s paradise: Enjoy a traditional dish in a typical café or spoil your senses in one of many gastronomic highlights. To accompany your dish, we suggest a special wine of the Lavaux wine terrasses, UNESCO World Heritage. The modern multi-purpose Montreux Music & Convention Centre (2m2c), an outstanding hotel infrastracture as well as numerous possibilities for excursions, make Montreux Riviera a popular meeting place for business events. We wish you an inspiring stay!
