Lakeside resort
Montreux is one of the most famous resorts in Switzerland, and Territet is a chic
neighbourhood of Montreux. From the 19th Century, the rich and famous have come from all over the world to this exclusive place where palm trees line the streets and lake front, while the awesome Swiss Alps tower above in the background. A favorite place of exceptional
people
So many great people have spent time in Montreux, some as visitors, many as residents, that it is difficult to give the complete list. Among the more recent are Freddy Mercury, Charlie Chaplin, Igor Stravinsky, Oscar Kokoshka, Vladimir Nabokov, and Barbara Endricks. Notable historic figures include Lord Byron, Paul Kruger, the Austrian Empress Sissi, and many romantic 19th and 20th Century English noblemen.
An exceptional climate
Montreux has the mildest climate north of the Alps, allowing
luxuriant palms, laurels, roses, figs, almonds, and many other
Mediterranean trees and plants to flourish. |
