Arth

Arth occupies a lakeside position on the southern shore of Lake Zug in the canton of Schwyz. The settlement stands where the lake meets the lower slopes between the Rigi massif and Rossberg, placing it on a long-established route through central Switzerland. Arth’s municipality includes Goldau, whose terrain was dramatically reshaped by the 1806 Goldau landslide from Rossberg. Today, Arth-Goldau is an important rail junction and the starting point for the Arth-Rigi Railway, a rack line ascending toward Rigi Kulm. Lake Zug gives the town its waterside character, while rail connections link the area with Lucerne, Zug and the Gotthard corridor.
