Recycled water from Lake Zug, energy-efficient LED technology, and effects without pyrotechnics: This is how ZugSPORTS minimizes the impact on the lake and the surrounding area.
Recycled water from Lake Zug, energy-efficient LED technology, and effects without pyrotechnics: This is how ZugSPORTS minimizes the impact on the lake and the surrounding area.
Pumps, lighting, and sound systems run for about 45 minutes each evening; for all 30 shows combined, ZugMagic uses about 3,000 kWh of electricity. Approximately 12 million liters of water are pumped out of the lake during the event and returned in full to Lake Zug.
A fisheries assessment of the comparable Thun “Wasserzauber” event shows no adverse effects on flora and fauna. ZugSPORTS monitors this in collaboration with Zug-based lake user organizations.
- Water: approximately 12 million liters, fully returned to the lake
- Technology: LED, approximately 45 minutes of operation per evening
- Electricity: approximately 3,000 kWh for all 30 shows
- Effects: Water and light instead of fireworks; no pyrotechnics
- 2026: no litter on the grounds
- Electricity generated from hydropower in the waters of Zug, CO₂-free
