Lake Zug at a glance

This is Lake Zug

Lake Zug is idyllically situated between gently rolling hills and the snow-capped Alps. Whether you are strolling along the lake promenade, taking a leisurely boat ride or watching the legendary sunset, you will experience pure Switzerland here.

Discover Lake Zug

Explore the charming old town of Zug with its cobblestone alleys and the Zytturm tower. Stroll along the lakeside promenade or take a dip at one of the many natural beaches. A particularly relaxing way to experience the lake is on a boat cruise – perhaps with a fine meal on board?

The legendary sunsets

Lake Zug is famous for its spectacular sunsets. The colors are reflected on the water, while the mountains in the background are bathed in warm light. The view is particularly beautiful from the Zug lake promenade or from Zugerberg.

Rigi and Wildspitz – panoramic mountains by Lake Zug

Not far from Lake Zug, two of the region's most beautiful panoramic mountains rise up: the Rigi, known as the “Queen of the Mountains”, and the Wildspitz. Both offer breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and the Alpine foothills.

Around Lake Zug

The lake is surrounded by idyllic hiking and biking trails that take you through protected zones and charming villages. Visit the Museum Burg Zug or explore the Höllgrotten caves in Baar, a fascinating system of caves with impressive dripstone formations.

Experience Lake Zug for less

The Zug Card is valid for all public transport in the canton of Zug. Many hiking trails, vantage points and bathing spots are accessible free of charge – and the sunset over the lake is priceless anyway.
