Zug
Zug, on the shore of Lake Zug, is home to many international companies, trading houses and family offices, as well as a charming lakeside old town. Executives, relocating families and visiting partners book a private transfer from Geneva Airport to travel straight to their office or residence, working in the car instead of changing trains in Bern and Zurich.

Chauffeur's tipZug's old town lanes are narrow; if your hotel is there, your chauffeur will use the lakeside road and stop as close to the entrance as access allows.
The road from Geneva to Zug
Your chauffeur takes the A1 from Geneva Airport along Lake Geneva and across the Mittelland to Bern, then continues towards Zurich. Depending on traffic, the route either joins the A2 towards Lucerne and then the A14 and A4 via Rotkreuz, or continues closer to Zurich before turning south. Either way, the 288 km take about three hours, almost entirely on motorway, and your driver chooses the smoothest option on the day.
Arriving in Zug
The town stretches along the north-eastern shore of Lake Zug, with the station and business quarter just inland and the old town on the water, below the wooded Zugerberg. Many companies are based in office districts close to the station or in neighbouring Baar and Cham. Give us the full address and any building or reception details, and your chauffeur will bring you right to the door.
Practical advice
- The First Class sedan (Mercedes S-Class) is a popular choice for executives who want to arrive rested for meetings.
- Relocating with a lot of luggage? The Van takes up to 10 bags, and child seats are available on request.
- Need to visit several addresses in Zug or Lucerne? Book a chauffeur by the hour, minimum two hours.
AirportsTransfers.ch shows the fixed price per vehicle before you confirm, and your chauffeur tracks your flight so a late arrival is not a problem.
