The years of rising electricity prices are over: on Thursday, the Swiss Federal Electricity Commission (Elcom) published the total electricity prices for private households in 2025. In 2025, the annual electricity costs for a typical household in Walchwil will be around CHF 1,298, which is around CHF 207 less than in 2024, corresponding to a decrease of 13.8 per cent.

Under the motto "join in - stay fit" we meet every Thursday in the gym or in summer outside to do something together for our fitness - but also for fun & games. And about once a month we devote ourselves to social activities.

We are active and adventurous men from the age of 30 to over 80. Exercise, fitness, fun and sociability as well as camaraderie are more important to us than sporting excellence. So there is often hearty laughter during the game. After the "fit" there is a small drink to discuss current weekly topics or simply to quench the thirst.

In addition to gymnastics, we go on excursions and actively participate in village life. Trained or untrained, all are welcome.

Would you like to do some exercise in a friendly, sociable atmosphere? Then sign up for a non-binding trial training.

A driver reversed his car into the entrance area of a building and then drove forwards into a wall. The driver was seriously injured and had to be hospitalised.

The accident occurred on Tuesday (16 July 2024), shortly before 11:15 a.m., on Hinterbergstrasse in Walchwil. A 65-year-old driver reversed out of a car park and lost control of his car. As a result, he crashed the rear of the vehicle into the glass façade of a building and then forwards into a wall near the car park.

The driver was seriously injured in the accident. After receiving initial medical treatment, he was taken to hospital by the Zug ambulance service. The damage to the vehicle and the building amounts to several tens of thousands of francs.

The exact cause of the accident is the subject of further investigations.

Data as of 31.12.2019. There are no more recent data on the foreign resident population in Switzerland. The data from the previous year are published on 1 September of the following year.

The bathing season in Walchwil officially begins on 1 May. The Saturday before, on 27 April, the municipality invited the local population to an aperitif at the lakeside resort.

The small bistro will be run by a new but familiar tenant this season. Jonny Azizi already runs various establishments in the region, including the Plaza in Zug. Managing Director Vjosa Turjan will be the boss at Badi Walchwil.

After the introduction of the new tenants and their staff, those present enjoyed a delicious aperitif in the pretty lakeside pool with its breathtaking view of the snow-covered Rigi.

In terms of the temperatures, the focus in the first few days will certainly be on the Badi-Beiz and probably not yet on swimming.
