In order that everybody gets to know the villages of the Commune of Montreux and to participate in the many traditional or more innovative festivals, to benefit from infrastructures set up for seasonal activities, the Associations of interests and development, such as that of Caux, are committed to promoting their respective villages, organising events open to both local and wider populations, as well as to maintaining natural sites used for leisure activities:
downhill and long distance ski tracks, the natural outdoor ice-skating rink, hiking tracks and walks, etc

The local population of Caux comprises a hundred permanent residents, as well as those, in love with the region, who own secondary residences, or rather chalets!

During the academic year, around 400 people, students and teachers at the SHMS (Swiss Hotel Management School), as well as the IC (Initiatives of Change) lecturers and participants , come to enrich village life. 

In Caux, depending on the season, you may:

Go ice-skating, skiing, hiking or play tennis. 

The outdoor skating rink is only open during cold weather, from about mid-December to mid-March. It is entirely natural, of a very large surface area, in the midst of a pine forest. 

The Caux ski resort is for beginners or children. A little ski lift allows for a few runs without too much effort. The more experienced skier would find the Jaman or Rochers-de-Naye ski domains, more of a challenge and a real pleasure. They are accessible by train (MOB Montreux-Rochers-de-Naye). 

The tennis courts are open from about June to September. Both courts are located in the middle of the village, 5 mins by foot from the train station.  

For walkingtours or hikes, information is available at the Montreux Tourist Office or buy a map of local hikes and walks at the train stations of Montreux, Glion or Caux.

For example; the Narcissus Path is a very pretty walk in the village of Caux. A sign-posted path guides you through magnificent fields of Narcissus (May-June).

Food and accommodation is also available in Caux.

There are a number of food and stay offers, in varying price scales, to be visited on our page “food and accommodation" (available in  french only). Hospitality being our motto, you will be welcome to Caux indeed! 

The Caux Development Association regularly organises sport and/or food festivals. If ever in the region, you are warmly invited to them! For more information, please visit the page “Festivals” (available in french only).
