Each July, the shores of Lake Geneva host the Montreux Jazz Festival — two weeks of legendary performances on a Riviera that fills to capacity. For VIP guests and artists alike, the difference between chaos and grace is the operation behind the scenes.
Montreux sits an hour from Geneva Airport along the lake. During the festival, the town’s roads and parking saturate; arrivals must be timed and routed with care. We pre-position vehicles and hold the access points the public never sees.
Getting in, and getting out
For artists and principals, a helicopter from Geneva to the Riviera turns a congested drive into a short flight, with a chauffeur waiting at the pad — coordinated on a single itinerary.
Between the Auditorium Stravinski, the Lab and the lakefront, a chauffeur on standby keeps a VIP moving between sets, dinners and the after-hours without touching a crowd.
The week around the music
We hold arrival protocols with the Fairmont Le Montreux Palace and the lakeside addresses from Lutry to Villeneuve — for a late table after a show, a quiet morning on the water, or a day trip to the Lavaux vineyards.
For those who treat the festival as the centrepiece of a Swiss summer week, we build the full itinerary: Montreux nights, Geneva days, an onward leg to Gstaad or the Alps.
The Inner Circle
The Quiet Letter
Once a month, a short letter from our concierge: new destinations, off-season opportunities, and itineraries we'd otherwise reserve for repeat clients. No marketing, no noise, ever.
Discretion in a crowd
A festival is, by definition, public. Keeping a high-profile guest private within it is an operation — unmarked vehicles, security driving where needed, and routes that avoid the lens.
Montreux has hosted legends for half a century. Our role is simple: to make sure the only thing our clients remember is the music.
