Montreux Jazz Festival 2009

Held on the eastern shore of beautiful Lake Geneva, the Montreux Jazz Festival attracts around 200,000 people each year. Specialising in jazz, blues, rock and pop, the festival provides groove busting beats that make you want to move your body or just listen in musical awe. The Montreux Jazz Festival has hosted the likes of Stan Getz, Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Charlie Mingus and Dexter Gordon since its inception in 1967 and this year’s festival will see the likes of rock legend Lenny Kravitz and R’nB queen Alicia Keys. Head to the fringe ‘Off Festival’ for free open-air concerts, providing a platform for up-and-coming artists.

Independent Summer - We’re ‘live’

Having spent the last few weeks in Australia setting things up, we are now proud to open the doors to Independent Summer. We still have a fair bit of tweaking to do on the website, but the summer operation will be worked on for the next few months so that we can have a detailed list of properties on the east coast of Australia should you want a nice hot getaway over the cold winter months.

Coming Soon - Independent Summer

After a great couple of years building up a detailed list of properties and information on our mountain resorts, we are about to launch our summer operation - Independent Summer. We will be starting by offering beach properties on the east coast of Australia, and will then be looking at covering the south coast of France so that we will have a year round summer industry for you to choose from.

We’ll keep you posted with everything that goes on, and if you have any particular areas of the world that you would like us to start looking into, then just email me directly on james@independentmountain.com and i’ll be happy to look into what we can add onto the website.
