Photography Tour in Montreux Area
The best photos of Montreux Area aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Lakeside promenade will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Rochers-de-Naye for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.
Montreux stretches along the shores of Lake Geneva beneath terraced vineyards and snow-capped peaks. The town is best known for the Montreux Jazz Festival, held each July since 1967, and for the Chateau de Chillon — a medieval lakeside castle that inspired Lord Byron. Freddie Mercury made Montreux his home, and his statue on the lakefront is a pilgrimage site for Queen fans.
