    Dear samyakhd,

    Yes, the boat ride to the castle and the entry fee are both for free with a Swiss Travel Pass. Please see http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/validity and http://www.myswissalps.com/sw isstravelpass/details.

    Tips for sightseeing in Montreux are listed at http://www.myswissalps.com/mo ntreux. To these tips I can add Les Avants/Sonloup and Les Pleiades, both viewing points close to Montreux and Vevey. A longer trip would be the Chocolate Train to Broc.
