Where there’s no time to get bored.

It’s easy to live well in Winterthur. Award-winning cooks treat guests to culinary delights, the Goldenberg terrace invites walkers in the nearby woods to rest and enjoy the magnificent view of the city, in the Roter Turm bar – 90 metres up – drinks taste even better than at ground level, parties at Albani and Bolero end late…

People fond of outdoor life will find what they look for and more. No city in Switzerland has a higher ratio of green space; in fact, two thirds of the municipality area are taken up by woods, fields and meadows. A special treat for families with children is the Bruderhaus wildlife park, where wolves are among the animals that can be observed in a natural habitat.

Never a boring moment for sports lovers, either. Golf in Kyburg, Stadel and Winterberg, tennis on courts set among villas, skateboarding and indoor climbing facilities, beach soccer and ice skating at the Deutweg sports complex, and much more. The choice is enormous, with something to suit all tastes. Most eye-catching of all, though, are the cyclists. Winterthur has a network of bicycle paths and lanes adding up to 175 kilometres, which has given it the national reputation of a cycle city.
