These mountains are threaded with numerous forest trails, grottos, caves and isolated villages. In addition you will see many different species of wildlife. Rochers-De-Naye; one of the mountains; itself is home to a little place which is called "Marmots' Paradise". Here you will find marmot species from all over the world live in a complex yet highly interesting system of underground burrows.
In addition to visiting this paradise for marmots in Montreux you may be interested in seeing the Château de Chillon. The Château is a historic castle and it is one of Switzerland's most visited sites. You can find this lovely castle on a small island in Lake Geneva which is only a few meters from the shore. Originally the castle was built to allow the inhabitants to obtain a toll from all of the people and goods which passed between Italy and the rest of Europe. This toll was taken on the road north from the St. Bernard pass. Today you will find the castle is 45 minutes walk from Montreux along the lakeside, or you can reach this castle within 4 minutes by train.
Of course you will find there are other things you can do while you are here. In April you can see the Golden Award of Montreux taking place.

These artistes include such personalities as Ernest Hemingway, Vladmir Nabokov, Charlie Chaplin and Freddie Mercury.
While these are some of the major attractions that you can see while you are in Montreux, you may enjoy visiting other places. These will include places like Yvorne which is a beautiful wine growing region located on the slopes of the Vaudois Alps, or you may or prefer to see Lavaux.
