The map

About this Montreux map poster

Montreux occupies a thin strip of shoreline at the eastern end of Lake Geneva, where the land rises almost immediately from the water. From above, the town reads as a long curve: a lakeside promenade, a band of hotels and apartment blocks behind it, then roads that zigzag uphill through villages and vineyards toward the pre-Alps. Very little of it is flat, and the map shows that in every bend.

The town is known far beyond Switzerland for the Montreux Jazz Festival, founded in 1967, and for the casino fire of 1971 that inspired Deep Purple's Smoke on the Water. A walk along the shore leads to the Château de Chillon, a medieval castle set on a rock in the lake, which appears on the map as a small knot of lines at the water's edge.

A Montreux map poster keeps the contrast that defines the place: an empty expanse of lake on one side, a dense and twisting net of streets on the other. Railway lines trace the shore, a rack line heads up the mountain, and the contour of the coast gives the composition a natural diagonal that sits well on a wall.

01

Lakeside promenade

A flower-lined quay follows the shore for several kilometres, drawn as a clean edge where the dense street network ends abruptly at open water.

02

Switchback roads

Streets above the centre fold back on themselves again and again to climb the slope, producing the looping pattern that makes Montreux recognisable in black and white.

03

Chillon on the rock

Southeast along the shore, the Château de Chillon sits on a small rocky outcrop, a compact cluster of walls separated from the mainland by a narrow gap.

Why Montreux

A map that means something

People hang Montreux for a summer at the festival, a lakeside honeymoon or years spent working in the hotels of the Riviera. The shape carries the memory without needing a photograph: the lake, the slope and the road you walked each evening.

You can set your own title and subtitle, add a date or keep the coordinates line, and choose among Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint and Sand. Noir suits the dark water especially well, while Paper softens the steep streets into something quieter.
