Active sports
During the summer, the lake is the most pleasant sports attraction in Zurich, offering the possibilty of swimming, sailing, beach volleyball, walking along the lakeshores, pedalo, and all followed by a nap in the sun along the banks of the lake. The Alps, which can be admired at all times, whether from beside the lake or from the city itself, are only an hour away by train. Hiking in the summer, skiing, snowboarding and sealskins in the winter are therefore only a stone’s throw away from the city. Tip : the CFF has interesting offers which combine the train departing from Zurich and the mechanical ski lifts at the ski resorts.
