If you’re shuttling between Vevey and Montreux, it’s worth abandoning the trains in favour of the much more useful electric city bus #1. This runs on a straight lakeside route from Vevey’s funicular station (west of the centre), past Vevey train station, on through La Tour-de-Peilz and Clarens into Montreux town centre, on through Territet (stopping outside the Château de Chillon), and terminating in Villeneuve. Buses run to and fro every ten minutes, and journey time between Vevey and Montreux is twenty minutes. Vevey and La Tour are in Zone 1; Montreux is in Zone 2; Chillon and Villeneuve are in Zone 3. A journey across two zones is Fr.2.40, across three is Fr.3, a day pass is Fr.8, but all Swiss passes are valid for free travel. Ticket machines in buses dispense one-way fares only.
