Foreign tourists started to stay in Territet from 1848 onwards and their numbers picked up from 1861 when the train station was opened.

It was created in 1894, exclusively for the use of the English tourists (Swiss or other nationalities weren't allowed to access this tennis court!).

[2] In 1931 representatives of two branches of exiled Spanish Borbons signed in Territet a draft agreement, intended to mend the dynastic feud; named Pact of Territet, it has never been implemented.

There are several important monuments, among which the French: Hôtel des Alpes-Grand Hôtel which is listed as a cultural property of national significance in Switzerland, an Anglican Church, St. John’s Montreux (built 1875-78) and a statue of Empress Sisi of Austria created by Italian sculptor Antonio Chiattone [de] in 1902.

Territet can be reached by: A second funicular with 4 intermediate stations operated from 1910 to 1992: Funiculaire Territet–Mont Fleuri.
