Zug: City, lake and mountains

This little town is situated in German-speaking Switzerland, at the north-eastern edge of the lake “Zuger See”. It stretches over gardens and orchards at the wooded foothills of the mountain “Zugerberg”.

Zug’s privileged geographical situation in the heart of Switzerland makes this town an ideal starting point for cultural and touristy excursions in central Switzerland, as well as to discover the Alps.

A walk right on the shores of the lake offers a marvellous view of the mountains of central Switzerland (Pilatus, Bürgenstock, Stanserhorn) and of the Alps of Bern (Jungfrau, Blümlisalp, Finsteraarhorn)

Not to forget the bluish water of the lake and the green hills, which are dominated by the mountain Rigi and the charm of the old part of the town…

So many trumps to tempt the visitor!

This charming place is also known for being one of the most peaceful towns in Switzerland, and is therefore an idyllic and safe surrounding to learn German – between lake and mountains.
