Lake Zug (Zugersee) is a tranquil and scenic lake nestled in central Switzerland, bordering the town of Zug. It stretches over 14 km long and covers an area of about 38 km². Known for its mirror-like waters and breathtaking sunsets, it offers lakeside promenades perfect for walking, cycling, or relaxing. Boat cruises operate from spring to autumn, with some offering dinner or themed rides. The lake’s calm surface beautifully reflects the surrounding peaks of Rigi and Pilatus. Local families and travelers often gather here for picnics, fishing, kayaking, or just admiring the golden hour by the water. It’s a true hidden treasure for those seeking a peaceful yet picturesque destination.
