Kilchberg is located on the western side of Lake Zurich. The Lindt & Sprüngli chocolate factory has its headquarters here. The municipality also includes the Zimmerberg, a chain of hills between the Sihl Valley and the left shore of Lake Zurich. On it stands the village's Reformed church, which dates from the 13th century. Two Neolithic lakeside settlements have been found in Kilchberg: Mönchhof / Bendlikon and Schooren. On the grounds of the estate "Uf Stocken" the "Kilchberger Schwinget" has been held every 6 years since 1927. Only the 60 best swimmers in Switzerland are invited. Therefore, a winner achieves a special status.

“It was a fabulous day starting with a boat trip up the lake to Vitznau, then stepping onto the train up to Rigi Kaltbad. The mineral baths were totally relaxing, from the bubble pools to the stunning outdoor views, plus the herbal steam room, mineral pool tranquility and sauna. A truly sensational day.”
“I highly recommend Swiss Activities! Our journey was perfect as was the service.”
“The presentation and the chocolates.”
“Funny quotes.”
“A wonderfully sunny day and relaxing hours at Rigi Kaltbad Wellness. It was worth being at the spa as early as 10:30 AM, since it got very crowded in the afternoon. We’ll gladly come back – of course by boat, train, and cable car.”
“Everything was great, friendly staff including the captain, a good extensive brunch buffet, and a beautiful boat trip.”
