Baar Mini Guide
Where is Baar?
Baar is a village in the canton of
Zug, Switzerland. It is located between Lake
Zug and Lake Zurich. The village is a popular home to Formula One racing drivers!
How can I get There?
The village is just 35 km from
Zurich Airport, so it is easy to drive. Alternatively you can take the S-Bahn S9 line to Baar. Once you are in the village, why not explore by bicycle? They can be rented from near the town hall.
By day
Visit the hollgrotten or ‘hellhole’ in the village and see all the stalagmites and stalactites.
By Night
Go to the Rathaus Schurr for entertainment. They have a year round arts programme including cabaret shows and music.
I Have a few days There…
Head for the mountains and use the skywalk and cable cars at Sattel Hochstuckli Park. See the animals and sculptures at Zugerberg Wildlife Park or take a lunch cruise on Lake Zug. Lake Zug also has many other water sports facilities including canoeing and sailing. Drive to Rigi and enjoy walks in summer and ski-ing in winter.
Where can I Stay?
The Hotel Ibis Baar is close to the train station and in the village centre. It has 66 rooms with Wi-Fi access for a small charge and the hotel has its own restaurant and bar. For total peace and quiet, stay at the retreat-like Zentrum Eckstein, just outside of Baar. There you can sit in the courtyard and enjoy a snack from their café.

04/06/13 - Nearby Steinhausen is the setting for the Village Festival on 15 July. With plenty of beer on offer 'Oktoberfest' style, music, dance and exhibitions, it promises to be good old fashioned fun.
