Caux, Switzerland

Overlooked by the Rochers de Naye summit (2000 meters), the Caux area was traditionally used only by cattle farmers.

Late in the 19th century, local riviera hotels owners from Montreux and Territet became aware of the touristic potential of the Caux Mount.

[2] In 1946 the former Caux Palace Hotel was purchased and renovated by the Moral Re-Armament organization (MRA), for use as an international conference centre to work on the reconciliation of European peoples.

The historians Douglas Johnston and Cynthia Sampson describe the MRA work as "important contribution to one of the greatest achievements in the entire record of modern statecraft: the astonishingly rapid Franco-German reconciliation after 1945.".

The village of Caux can be reached by train from Montreux, en route to the Rochers de Naye, or the Jaman Pass and peak.
