Dedicated vehicle & chauffeur
From Montreux’s lakeside, Chillon Castle sits 4.2 km east along Route 9, almost touching the water. Raised on a rocky islet from the 12th century by the Counts of Savoy, it blends grand halls, a wall-walk, and the vaulted prisons made famous by Byron’s 1816 visit. Then it’s up to Montreux station for the rack railway to Rochers-de-Naye at 2,042 m, a historic lookout for 19th‑century botanists and guides, where the lake’s curve and the Dents du Midi line up in crisp relief.
Your driver is on hand throughout: pickup at your Montreux hotel, drop-off at the castle, waiting time during the tour, then a seamless transfer to the MOB station for the mountain ascent. Linger where you like—he coordinates timings and can pre-book tickets—while you tour, taste a local Chasselas, or frame the towers. In Montreux, our private chauffeur knows the quai traffic patterns and adjusts routes so the pace stays smooth, never rushed.
