Blue Zones

Parking in the “blue Zones” or blue parking areas in Montreux. Free for a limited time.

 

The general rules are that you can park Monday through Friday between 8:00 and 18:00.

 

You can’t stay longer (than the sign indicates) only moving the disc forward is not permitted! You have to leave the parking area and then park again (in new space) – otherwise you may be in for a fine!

You can’t book and be assured of free spot.

❌ Parking lots are not guarded also there is pedestrian traffic around.

❌ You need to have a parking disc.

 

You may be fined for:

  • Your parking disc not being completely visible (it should be displayed in the front windscreen by the driver’s seat)
  • You haven’t choose correctly the time on the disc clearly
  • You’ve exceed the allowed parking time
  • You’ve changed the arrival time but not moved your car

 

 

White zones

Are also limited. The maximum time is indicated by road sings and you need to pay at the closest parking meter.

Some white lines are marked as “Besucher”  for shops or apartments and you are entitled to park in these places if you are visiting those places.

 

❌ Located on the street, so your vehicle always gets dirty.

❌ Specific, limited stop time.

❌ How far away will you find a vacancy? You really never know.


 

Can I reserve a spot?

Yes. Application Share.P moves parking places on the street from Blue or White zones to the city’s underground or on private property.

Yellow Zones

These are private or reserved for companies and may only be used by them or their clients and guests.

Yellow markings with crosses mean no parking and yellow lines by the side of the road mean no waiting at the roadside. Parking on main roads outside of towns is prohibited.


 

Paid parking is the norm in Switzerland

especially around popular places like rail stations, hotels and town centers. Even as a hotel guest, you often need to pay for parking separately. Count on CHF 10 to 50 per day. Parking in the larger cities is quite expensive: up to CHF 4 per hour. Rates are very dependent on location, number of hours, indoor or outdoor parking. If you are used to free parking near a shopping center, in Vevey you can pay 6 francs and more for just 2 hours of parking.

 

Paying is done in several ways:

  • Hotel guests can pay for their parking costs during the check-out procedure.
  • In public parking garages you’ll find machines. Before you leave, you’ll have to enter the parking ticket you received when driving in, and you’ll pay in cash or with debit/credit card.
  • On many parking lots you’ll find parking metres. The older versions require Swiss coins. Many are digital though, allowing you to enter the number of your parking lot and to pay in cash or by debit/credit card.
  • A growing number of parking lots can be paid with mobile apps, linked to your credit card or bank account. You’ll have to enter your parking lot and parking duration. Examples of apps used in Switzerland are Park Now, ParkingPay, EasyPark, Sepp and Twint.
