Montreux, Municipality on Lake Geneva shores, Switzerland
Montreux extends along Lake Geneva's eastern shore, surrounded by mountains that shield the city from northern winds and create a moderate climate.
The settlement began as a small monastery in the 11th century and evolved into a wine production region before becoming a tourism destination.
The Montreux Jazz Festival, established in 1967, brings together international musicians and thousands of visitors each July at Lake Geneva's edge.
The railway network connects Montreux to Geneva, France, and Italy through the Simplon Tunnel, with additional mountain railways serving surrounding villages.
The Château de Chillon, standing near Montreux since the 13th century, represents Swiss medieval architecture with its lakeside fortification system.
