Schwyz - the cantonal capital

The cantonal capital surprises with a combination of tradition and innovation. Nestled in a romantic valley basin, Schwyz is surrounded by the most beautiful mountains and lakes in the canton. The two Mythen mountains tower in the background, Stoos and Rigi seem close enough to touch and Lake Lucerne is also within sight. It is unmistakable that Schwyz cherishes a long tradition. The town is characterized by historic buildings and festive customs. It is therefore not surprising that this beautiful spot is home to the Swiss Federal Charter. But Schwyz also has a lot to offer economically. The town is also home to the world-famous Swiss Army Knife.
