"Living in Montreux, Switzerland can be quite expensive compared to other cities around the world.

Utilities such as electricity, heating, cooling, and water can also add to the monthly expenses.

Transportation costs can also add up, whether you're using public transportation or maintaining a personal vehicle. Gasoline prices are high, and so are the costs for public transit tickets. Healthcare in Switzerland is known for its high quality, but it also comes with high costs. Mandatory health insurance can be a significant monthly expense. Leisure activities, such as fitness club memberships, cinema tickets, and other forms of entertainment, are also more expensive in Montreux compared to other cities.
