Staying in Monthey is a good option, but our favorite place to stay when riding in this area is definitely Montreux.  Montreux puts you right at the start of the best climbs around lake Geneva,  as well as gives you easy access to climbs down the Rhône river like this one - about a 20km ride away from downtown Montreux.

If you do this climb in July you can't miss out on the world-famous Montreux Jazz Festival
