INFORMATION
Zug is located around 25 kilometers from Zurich Airport and the best
connection is via train. There is a direct train every 47th minute i.e.
09:47, 10:47, 11:47 etc…. and will be marked ZUG-LUCERNE. The trip takes
around 45 minutes and costs just under 20 Swiss francs. There are other
trains but will require a platform change in Zurich. Once you reach Zug,
the most flexible transfer is to simply take a taxi to the hotel. All
players and officials are reminded to keep / obtain receipts of their
journey costs for reimbursement as per regulations.
