The most popular swimming spots around Zurich

The Agerisee is not only a paradise for cyclists, but also a popular swimming lake. If you want to take a break while cycling around the lake, you are welcome to jump into the water and refresh yourself. Along the shore you will always find beautiful swimming areas where you can swim or you can choose one of the two beach pools.

The seaside resort Brüggli is a great destination or a nice place for a break on a longer bike tour. The freely accessible beach attracts with its large lawn and the flat shore, which allows easy access to the water. There are also fire pits if you want to grill.

If you are currently cycling for several days, you can also take the seaside resort as a stage destination, because there is a campsite next door where you can spend the night.

If you cycle around the Hallwilersee, you can take a break at the Tennwill beach to refresh yourself in the water of the lake on hot summer days. On the large lawn you can relax comfortably or tan on the sundeck. Action is provided by the volleyball court and table tennis tables. If you have your own food with you, you can also barbecue.The lido is open daily from April to September. In the low season from 9 to 19 o'clock and in the high season from 8 to 22 o'clock. Admission costs 5.50 CHF for adults and 2.50 CHF for children.

The free Badi in the village of Greifensee is ideal for cooling off briefly in the lake and frying a sausage before swinging back on the bike.

In Küsnacht you can refresh yourself in the cool water of the lake in summer. The Küsnachter Strandbad, also called "Sträme", is one of the most beautiful beach resorts on the Zürisee. Here you have all the advantages of a swimming pool including restaurant. Much better than in the outdoor pool, however, is the magnificent view of the Zürisee, which you can enjoy while bathing or from the restaurant terrace.

The lido is open daily from May to September until sunset. Admission costs 8 CHF for adults. Children up to 16 years are free of charge.

The Türlersee is very good to walk around with the stroller. It goes continuously near the shore around the lake and half of the circular route is in the shadow of the forest. There are numerous fishing jetties and swimming areas. However, we have found no bathing place, which would have been suitable for toddlers to splash.

Great place to swim!

Great panorama, little traffic

If you want to take a break at the Pfäffikersee in summer, you can relax a bit in the Seebäeg Seegräben and refresh yourself in the water while bathing. There is a sunbathing area, changing rooms and basic sanitary facilities. Admission is free and the seaside resort is always accessible.
