Montreux has a microclimate mild enough for palms and cypresses along its lakeside promenade, which is why the Belle Époque hotels came and never left. Chillon Castle stands on its rock in the water at the eastern end — the most visited historic building in Switzerland. Freddie Mercury's statue faces the lake because Queen recorded here for years, and the Montreux Jazz Festival has filled two weeks of every July since 1967. The Rochers-de-Naye cog railway climbs to 2,042 m from the town.
