Zug offers a calmer, often more budget-conscious alternative with one of the region's loveliest lakefronts and the famous Zug evening sun.

The mountain regions around the Rigi, Pilatus and Bürgenstock are the stage for alpine weddings and elopements with panorama, where experience with light and weather at altitude counts.
