10 Things to do Good for Kids in Montreux That You Shouldn't Miss
Jazz aficionados know Montreux as the home of the famed jazz festival. And where else will you find a statue of Queen lead singer Freddie Mercury? But even those who aren't music fans will find respite in this resort town on the Swiss Riviera: The wineries here are world renowned, the Chateau de Chillon is an impressive example of a medieval castle and the views of the Dents-du-Midi are breathtaking. Walk on the lake promenade, ride the cogwheel train or wander Old Montreux to taste its Edwardian flavor.

In 1996, five years after his death, a bronze statue was unveiled on the lakeshore. Having become a real place of pilgrimage for all his fans, the statue of Freddie Mercury is now an essential figure in the city of Montreux.

The Freddie Mercury Memorial is a beautiful tribute to a larger than life performer. He faces the lake and is beautiful (all times but especially) at sunset.

Hold your breath and board this train that climbs, climbs, and climbs some more. Nothing scares it, neither the steep slopes nor the snow. At the Rochers-de-Naye, at over 2,000 metres altitude, what amazing scenery! Lake Geneva in all its glory. Don’t leave the place without saying hello to the marmots, the mascot of the Alps. A tip: it is said that this is where the real Santa Claus spends the winter.

A classic Swiss train ride with spectacular views leading to the nostalgic summit building and small ski area. Rochers de Naye features beautiful hikes, Mongolian huts, marmot villages, an alpine garden and even Santa’s office depending on the season. A must visit if in the Montreux area. If the weather is clear the views are absolutely stunning.

I was planning on visiting a christmas market and visited this with the added bonus of seeing the caste first. Reaching there quite early (at noon) allowed us to explore the various shops in the market easily. It was a nice day to walk along the lakeside. The highlights of this market apart from the food, drinks and shops was the 'Flying Santa Claus' who comes once an hour in the evenings. I bought a SBB Montreux ticket which allowed me to get 50% discounted tickets of travel to and from Montreux as well as a discount on the Montreux Noel Mug and vin chaud. I would highly recommend this as I saved money with this and I didn't travel long distances.
