Thanks for the feedback, so where is the action in Zug? Cham and Zug itself? My wife and I are young and active with two children, we enjoy our outdoors, nightlife dinning, sports etc.. We are spoilt for choice in SA and want to get the best out of Switzerland, we are moving permanently.. How is the house rental market in Cham/Baar?
Yes there are bars here but it really centres around a couple and most people will seek action elsewhere if I am honest either in Zurich or Luzern (which I prefer)

The house market here is expensive because Zug has one of the lowest levels of tax (each canton charges a different rate). In the end I believe that it all evens itself out with the higher taxed cantons being balanced with lower rents with some notable exceptions.

There is plenty to do for active people, walking, the lake, the mountains so in that respect you are in the perfect place. The quality of life here is dare I say it, exceptional and this coming from someone who used to live in Melbourne and Perth in Australia.

It's not cheap but... its well worth it. Great place to bring up kids, its safe, very clean, its just a very nice place.. but not the place to party or for that matter shop!
