Tourist attractions in Montreux

• Château of Chillon  
  It is an impressive castle in Switzerland, which is located about 3.2 kilometers south of Montreux. Most of the castle here dates from the 13th century, but its oldest section is thought to be 1,000 years old. The castle was built by Peter II of Savoy and is one of the best-preserved, and most frequently photographed, medieval castles of Europe.
• Rochers-de-Naye  
  Rochers-de-Naye at 2,042m (6,700 ft.) is one of the most popular tours along Lake Geneva. From Montreux a cogwheel train takes visitors in less than an hour up to Rochers-de-Naye. The train ascends the slopes over Lac Léman, passing Glion, a little resort on a rocky crag almost suspended between lake and mountains.
• Villeneuve Town  
  Villeneuve, the little port town at the end of the lake, is where Lord Byron wrote ‘The Prisoner of Chillon’ in 1816. Mahatma Gandhi visited Romain Rolland when the French novelist and pacifist lived here. The town and its surrounding countryside have been painted by many artists, including Oskar Kokoschka, who once lived here. Villeneuve is a 25-minute walk from the Château of Chillon, which is visible from virtually every point in the village.
