Welcome to the Caux Conference and Seminar Centre


A historical and extraordinary setting for your meetings, events, workshops and retreats.








Overlooking Lake Geneva, above the city of Montreux in Switzerland, our conference centre, the Caux Palace and the Villa Maria offer an inspiring and extraordinary setting for your meetings, events, workshops and retreats.

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking scenery and the rich history of the place. Retreat from the bustling routine, take time to gain some perspective and find a safe space that allows for creative sharing and exchanges.


The Caux Conference and Seminar Centre is owned by Initiatives of Change Switzerland, a charitable organization founded in 1946 working towards peace, justice and sustainability. The Caux Palace is partially rented out to the Swiss Hotel Management School.
