Montreux and Chillon Castle
Constructed by the House of Savoy in the 12th century, Chillon Castle guarded a strategic passage between the Vaud Riviera and the Rhone Valley. It played a significant role in events such as Bern’s conquest in 1536 and the Vaud’s in 1798. Today, it stands as Switzerland’s most visited historical monument, attracting over 400,000 visitors each year.
Nestled between the lake and the mountains, Montreux enjoys a mild microclimate throughout the year, creating a delightful environment for an abundance of beautiful flowers and tropical plants.
