Montreux, Switzerland
Montreux, hot or not?
What is Montreux
Mostly known for its world-famous month-long Jazz Festival (a bit of a misnomer: you're just as likely to catch David Bowie or Beck as, say Steve Coleman), Montreux is well worth a wander through, if only to get to the scenic Château de Chillon or to get to Hauts de Montreux.

The jazz/funk/soul/rap festival was our goal on a road trip. We hadn't booked an accommodation in advance though. We should've. The festival was packed with people and Montreux with its mountain background and palm trees by the lake felt like a great place. MC Common's gig was excellent and all the party people were happy. We spent the night until early morning in the venue and then on the streets before we decided to get some sleep... and headed to our car to sleep in it, as no other option was available..

Take the opportunity to cross geneva lake from one side to the other for the price of the bus ticket taking the little yellow boat. It is a cheap and great trip to discover the city from the lake.

I love this little village between the vineyards and the lake. It offers one of the best views on the mountains over the lake. My favorite place around the Geneva Lake.

Villars is a nice small ski resort facing south therefore being a great "balcony" over the valley and geneva lake. Climbing up offers a great panorama on the Diablerets Mountains.

Nice quiet village above the famous spa resorts of Evian and Thonon, overlooking Lac Leman. Fabulous views, beautiful surroundings, yet within walking distance (more or less) from the jetset nightlife of the expensive lakeshore resorts. Affordable accomodation and eating.

Visit Geneva for the 1st of August celebration. It is the equivalent of the 4th of July and there are fantastic fireworks above the city.
