Leisure in Montreux

This small town on Lake Geneva is the pearl of the Swiss Riviera. Welcoming visitors from all over the world has become a way of life for this charming place, which is home to just over 20,000 inhabitants. In summer the town’s pulse quickens as diverse, vibrant audiences of visitors from around the world get into the spirit of the famous Jazz Festival. In Montreux, every season is wonderful. The Alpine backdrop forms a magnificent panorama in addition to being a year-round sports paradise.

The school enjoys an ideal location in the centre of town, just a stone’s throw from the lake, which is a major attraction that is popular with people everywhere. The colourful, palm-lined lakeside promenade offers countless treasures as you make your way along it: with small coves suitable for bathing that are ideal for all types of festivities, where crowds of students and families gather on warm summer evenings, panoramic terraces and international restaurants, a conference centre whose cultural agenda could not be more international, and for history lovers an imposing 13th-century castle accessible by foot from the lakeside promenade. Major cities are also within easy reach – Lausanne and Geneva are just 20 minutes and an hour away respectively from Montreux.
