Caux Village

Rue du Panorama

About

Caux is literally straight up from Montreux and a wonderful trip on the cogwheel train can take you there. Occasionally they operate some of the historic trains which is special day and lots of locals participate. When you arrive at the Caux train station you will find a lovely terrace (and a breathtaking view) and restaurant to relax in during your visit which is rather short in this tiny village unless you go hiking. Most non-hikers just go to Caux or stop and then continue on to the top of the Rochers-de-Naye. The extraordinary structure that is seen from miles away on the mountain side that is located in Caux is referred to as the Caux Palace (former Grand Hotel). Today it is the home of the tourist office, a hotel school, and a conference venue that is frequented by the Forum for Human Security which focuses on conferences with the theme of building world peace.
