Zurich Region

The region of Zurich and its surroundings lies in the heart of Switzerland and borders on Germany to the north, the canton of Aargau to the west, Zug and Schwyz to the south and Thurgau to the east. Located at the northern end of Lake Zurich, Switzerland's largest city is especially popular with water sports enthusiasts. But also the gentle hills of the Swiss low mountain range invite you to take leisurely cycling and hiking tours. Mountain bikers and ambitious hikers, on the other hand, are attracted by the 1292 m high Schnebelhorn.
