Wollerau

Wollerau is located on a terrace above Lake Zurich in the district of Höfe in the Canton of Schwyz. The municipality has gained international fame as one of the most sought-after residential locations in the world, primarily due to the combination of high quality of life, a discreet atmosphere, and extremely attractive tax conditions. The geography features spectacular views of the lake basin and the Glarus Alps in the background. The townscape is dominated by luxurious villas and modern apartment buildings harmoniously embedded into the rolling hills. Historically, Wollerau was an agricultural village for a long time, and its rise only began in the second half of the 20th century with its proximity to the financial center of Zurich. The infrastructure is tailored to a sophisticated clientele but also provides excellent schools and leisure facilities for families. Connection to the city of Zurich is convenient via the A3 motorway or the S-Bahn, making Wollerau a good location for commuters seeking peace and exclusivity.
