Zug

Great place. Check out the boarding school on top of the hill.

I was lucky enough to have a (paid) 10 day consulting trip/interview to this beautiful town in Switzerland…not far from Zurich.

Lake Zug itself is a very beautiful Alpine Lake…and it is very nice for boating and quiet walks. The town of Zug itself is very nice…friendly, clean and very scenic. Zug is a fairly prosperous town, with great shopping, and wonderful restaurants, cafes and such. Not a big late night party town, I still managed to meet very nice Swiss who quickly shared all the popular and almost secret, nightspots…including the rare “after-after hours” places for the nightowls like myself (still on USA time).

As in most of Switzerland…it is not cheap…But it is a lovely town with great people and lovely scenery. I must go back some day…

Practically everyone spoke English!

FYI: Billionare American fugitive investor Mark Rich (pardoned by Clinton just before leaving office), lived in Zug while he was a fugitive from American prosecution…so as you can imagine…Zug must have some things to draw people.

The Park Hotel, Zug was excellent though very expensive…and the (quaint) Hotel Loewen was very good also…and a wonderful place to also dine.

For the adventurous…check out the Para-gliders which operate from Mount Zug (over the town).

I have such fond memories of Lake Zug. I spent a great weekend at the family home of a friend there. We spent the weekend water skiing, BBQing and partying in general. I had a huge crush on a guy from Lake Zug…
