Montreux Travel Guide

 balhannah Says:  Accommodation......We didn't have any, so we had to find the tourist info centre. We were driving along the Grand Rue when we came across it at the Place de l'Eurovision. The staff were extremely helpful and gave me maps and filled me in on all the information I needed.They... 

 balhannah Says:  We drove our car up a very windy, narrow, Mountain road as far as we could, which was the Col de Jaman parking area. From here, to reach the summit, is a 2-3 hours walk. We were quite content to enjoy the incredible views from here! There isn't much at the parking lot, a few... 

 balhannah Says:  Ouchy is a part of Lausanne, but is located beside Lake Geneva.We wanted to visit the promenade and the gardens, and found parking was a problem. Eventually, after a few circuit's, we managed to find a park.Located here is a wonderful, well laid out garden, in all its glory.... 

 balhannah Says:  Lutry was located before we reached Lausanne. As it was lunch time, we decided to stop in this smaller town, rather than larger Lausanne.It was a good choice! Only small, Lutry has a delightful old town that I enjoyed exploring. Narrow streets, gorgeous Rose's in bloom,... 

 balhannah Says:  This is a drive of about 28kms if you follow the A9, longer if you follow the lake-side and see all the pretty villages.We did both ways, and even though the distance is not far, it is a full days outing if you wish to stop and look around some of the villages, they do... 

 EspritMontagne Says:  Restaurant Molino is one of the few restaurants that is located on the boulevard. They have a huge menu to choose from, but nonetheless the quality's always good and stable. It's a typical Italian restaurant, so they serve a.o. pastas, pizzas, gnochi, risotto and very nice...

 Tripack Says:  Rochers-de-Naye. You will reach Rochers-de-Naye (2045 m) after a pleasant journey in less than an hour aboard on a rack railway train. There you could enjoy a breathtaking panorama at the summit on the Alps and Lac Léman (Lake Geneva). TIP: Take one of the 2 last trains... 

 balhannah Says:  For our return journey from Lausanne, we chose to follow the scenic route " Route Petite Cornishe"You need to watch for the signpost to Chatelard Sur Lutry. From this town, you are on the route until Cully.Following this route gave us more amazing views of the terrace's and... 

 balhannah Says:  What did I expect? To climb down a lot of steps into a Mine and then walk through and hear about the Mine and to see it.Well, half is correct! To our surprise, out came a tiny train, and we were told to hop in, as this was our transport into the Mine. The small train took us... 

 balhannah Says:  We were staying at Montreux and decided to go for a drive and visit the Bex Saltmines.We had never been into a Saltmine. The drive to the Salt mines from Montreux was through a very scenic valley, with enormous Mountain's on either side. We found our way to the mines, by... 

 balhannah Says:  What a great idea! We booked 3 nights accommodation at the Tourist Information centre and received the Montreux Riviera Card for FREE.Even if you book directly at your Hotel, the Hotel will give you the free card. I can't quite remember, but I think there may be a minimum of...
