Montreux is a resort town for the rich and famous. Located on the shores of Lake Geneva, it is most famous for its jazz festival, posh hotels and casinos. It is also very picturesque. Hence, here are some photographs I took during my visit.
What a beautiful place to just lay down and chill
Sure is. Thanks for your comment.
Hi, I really enjoy following your blog, so I am nominating you for a versatile blogger award. For more details you can go to my blog – http://www.getsetandgo.wordpress.com
Thanks so much for nominating me! I really appreciate it. The blog post is coming soon!
Those colors don’t even look real — such spectacular views!
I’m jealous. Guess it’s time to become rich and famous so I, too, can enjoy “my” playground there…
You said it
Lovely!
Thank you!
So, so beautiful. I love these photos. And congrats on being Freshly Pressed.
Thanks very much!

Thanks for visiting my blog!
That 5th photo is just stunning! Gorgeous!!
I was in Switzerland a couple of years ago, and just loved it…especially the chocolate!
Where did you visit?
I was mainly in Zurich and the surrounding areas…I didn’t have time to head to Geneva (I know! How horrible is that, right??)
Nice pics! I was just in Luzern and really loved it. Looks like I’ll have to check out this next!
I’ve been to Lausanne and Geneva as well but not Luzern, Zurich or Bern. They are on my “list”.
Wonderful scenes and some nice work with the camera.
Thanks…. also for visiting my blog
Terrific photos. I love the place
Lovely photos, and congrats on being freshly pressed.
Thanks a lot!
I lived in Montreux and I wouldn’t call it a playground for the rich and famous, even though Eric Clapton used my computer in the Palace Internet Cafe before we had an Internet connection at home.
Eric Clapton….That’s cool!
Stunning photography! I found myself wanting to just study every detail of your photos. Wonderful work!
That last shot is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you much!
Unas fotos preciosas!!!
Gracias!
On the very first picture I could see my condo on the third floor. Hope to be back soon!
Must have been a great place to live!
Switzerland!
I will do a Swiss road trip someday…
You should!
Switzerland is even more fun by train, Amelie. As a tourist you can get a half-fare card for 110CHF, and that will allow you to pay 50% off on all your tickets. Or you could get a monthly pass for about 443CHF (ages 17-26), which allows you to travel as much as you wish on all Swiss train, buses and boats, with some minor exceptions.
Thanks, Milad, for the photos. You made me very nostalgic for Switzerland. We just moved out of it a few months ago, after spending 5 years there. I hope to keep visiting often.
Oh, and here’s a post I did on Switzerland a couple of years back. I hope you enjoy it.

Seems to be a stunning area! Nice Photos.
I love your digital pictures and blog. By the way did you get to go to Château de Chillon ?
Thanks for sharing. http://www.segmation.wordpress.com
Sobrang ganda (It is so beautiful!), I certainly did not see something like this when I went to Switzerland, that’s because I only made it to Basel
Well, then you gotta go back
those are postcard-like photos! awesome!
Thank you for visiting my blog and your comment.

Welcome to Montreux, Switzerland, the playground of the rich and famous.
Great showcase of amazing Swiss views awesome talent! Congrats!
*and awesome talent, I mean.
Thank you for the kind words
I love the whole region around the Lac Léman specially the small wine villages. Once at Rivaz, close to Vevey and Montreux, we have found a very nice Wine Bar, small but with an extremely friendly owner, fan of Swiss wines. And sure, the Château de Chillon, one of the most didactic castle I have ever visited in Europe.
I also went to Vevey… Just as nice as Montreux
look nice picture
I have often wondered the whereabout of Montreaux because I have heard of the jazz festival. You now answered my question. Thank you. Enjoyed your photos too.
Your welcome and thank you

May your words come true!

Great Photos and after a busy day at work it’s great to look at these photos and unwind..Takes me back to when I was there
Glad I could help you unwind
I used to live just around the corner from Montreaux. Love Switzerland so much! Gorgeous pictures.
Beautiful shots! I love Montreaux!
This is just breath-taking! Did you use some kind of filters for the photos? Very vivid, nice!
No, just some minor post production editing
simply amazing…
OH MY..!! the place is beautiful.. beyond words:):)
Growing in Montreux, I can tell you that Montreux is a resort town for the rich and famous…. Only two weeks a year… during the Montreux Jazz Festival!
The remaining 350 days, it’s a very quiet town but with normal people (normal Swiss people …;-)) as elsewhere, I can reassure you!
beautiful!
Amazing pictures……breathtaking!!!!!!

Wow, what a spot. I got to visit Lake Lucerne and Interlaken last summer. The Swiss lakes are something else. Nice shots!
I love your photography and the places are so beautiful! It must have been so wonderful to watch all these in person. Lovely photos! Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
These pictures are incredible and the colors are so vivid.
I love the odd statue, and the grandeur of Montreux that shows in these photos. You’ve captured it wonderfully.
