The Swiss tourist town of Montreux, on the banks of Lake Geneva, held a race for grand prix cars on 3 June 1934 on a narrow street circuit lined with tramlines. The event was announced late but three Scuderia Ferrari Alfa Romeos headed a reasonably strong entry list. Philippe Étancelin qualified on pole and led before his brakes began to fade, which allowed Count Trossi to take victory. The race was not repeated.
