A New Era on Lake Ägeri—Quiet, Local, Electric

Sustainable mobility starts right on your doorstep

Recreational transportation is one of the major sources of emissions in the tourism sector. Sightseeing boats also contribute to this. By switching to electric power, Ägerisee Schifffahrt is taking a concrete step toward climate-friendly mobility—one that is visible and tangible for all guests and locals.

A win for visitors, locals, and nature

The electric propulsion system changes not only the technology but also the onboard experience. Guests enjoy a virtually silent ride, which brings the lake and Alpine panorama more into focus. Conversations remain undisturbed, nature observations are more intense, and the quality of the experience improves. The wildlife also benefits from the absence of exhaust fumes and reduced disturbance. A real boon for the habitat around Lake Ägeri!

Making Sustainability Visible

The new electric boat fits seamlessly into Zug Tourism’s sustainability strategy and the national Swisstainable program. It demonstrates that environmental responsibility and the tourism experience are not mutually exclusive, but rather reinforce one another. Combining it with public transportation—such as the Unterägeri–Zug bus route—makes the trip car-free and comfortable. The Zug region is thus positioning itself as a model for climate protection in action.
