Zug is the capital of one of the smallest cantons in Switzerland and is located directly on the beautiful Lake Zug. Lake Zug and its surroundings captivate with the famous sunsets and a variety of leisure activities on land and in the water. The Zugerberg is the canton's local mountain and offers popular hiking trails and a magnificent view of the town and lake. In winter it invites to sledding and cross-country skiing. As a bad-weather program, the Freiruum facility also offers exciting indoor activities.

on Voralpen Express Ticket from St. Gallen or Lucerne“Amazing time. Money well spent on guide with my travel companion not interested in this activity I was thankful I had someone with me encouraging me and giving me so much historical and local history. I just wish I had known I needed my wallet to on the adventure. I had no idea it didn’t end anywhere near the start! Ithink communication should be improved so tourists know you need to plan your way back UP to the starting point to retrieve your belongings or return your rental shoes, etc. Options area) $7 1way cable car ticket UP to Murren, or 45 min hike back UP to Murren. This was not clear for anyone in our group.”
