Zug has a reputation for hosting the country’s most
beautiful sunsets.
They begin high over the Alps of Central
Switzerland, turn to liquid gold as they are reflected
off the surface of the lake, and bathe the historic little
town and its garden restaurants in a magical light. The
Old Town is small, and consequently much loved: less a
place for big, glamorous events than for quiet, romantic
moments. Or to relax after a mountain walk on the
magnificent Zugerberg or a cruise on the lake (complete
with glimpses into the the gardens of the rich and
famous). A particularly memorable experience, one
village along in Baar, is a visit to the Höllgrotten caves.
Dramatic formations of stalagmites and stalactites,
underground lakes and shifting colours give each cave a
unique character.
