Create an itinerary including Montreux Lakeside

Take a scenic walk along Montreux Lakeside, which hugs the bank of Lake Geneva. The lakeside path extends from Vevey to Villeneuve. An easy walk, the trail impresses with views across the lake to Chillon Castle. Follow the path long enough and you'll find yourself at the 11th-century castle. Notice animal sculptures created out of leaves and flowers that line the path. If there's time, take a minute to feed the swans at the lake. Plan to see Montreux Lakeside and other attractions that appeal to you using our Montreux day trip website.

Stunning and breathtaking place to visit!! It is one of the best cities I have ever visited in my life!! The sunset with the lake and mountains views is just amazing!! Definitely worth a visit if you’re near the area!! A long walk around the lake or a quick boat trip are for sure the way to go!!

With the blue sky and the blue lake, the view was the best ever. I'll surely visit Montreux again, too see how beautiful it'll be with sunsets

I adore this place! In my opinion, it’s the most beautiful lake board walk in Switzerland. The lake Léman is gorgeous. You can walk (day or night), run, bike, enjoy the view on the beaches facing the lake), admire the different works of art (statues and vegetal sculptures), eat/drink in 1 of the restaurants, cafes and hotels, etc. The Christmas market is big & amazing (so many different vendors lined up in cute little chalets) If you go to Montreux, it’s definitely the place to be!
