Rent a holiday apartment or holiday house in Schwyz

Renting a holiday apartment or holiday house in Schwyz begins with a regional decision: Schwyz is located in Central Switzerland between the Alps, Lake Lucerne and Lake Zurich. When searching for accommodation, you can first choose between a lakeside location and a pre-Alpine or Alpine setting. The canton of Schwyz and the town of the same name should be considered separately.

Choose between lakes, the Pre-Alps and the Alps

The landscape is predominantly shaped by the Schwyzer Pre-Alps and extends into the Glarus Alps in the southeast. This contrast gives your accommodation search a clear direction: First decide which type of landscape suits your trip, and then compare holiday apartments, holiday houses or hotels in the current selection.

History as a separate travel focus

History also leads to different regional points of interest. The canton of Schwyz is one of the founding cantons of Switzerland; the Federal Charter is exhibited in the town of the same name. Einsiedeln Abbey is located northeast of the town of Schwyz. If you would like to include culture and history in your plans, you can consider these places as different search directions without equating the entire canton with the town of the same name.

Pile-dwelling history on Lake Zurich

Prehistoric pile dwellings that are part of the UNESCO World Heritage are located near Hurden in Freienbach. If, in addition to mountain landscapes, you would like to experience the Lake Zurich landscape and prehistoric culture, you can include the northern part of the canton around Freienbach and Hurden in your regional accommodation search.

Compare regional pages

For further regional searches, you can open the pages for Einsiedeln, Gersau, Höfe, Küssnacht, March and Schwyz individually. For a broader overview, you can also compare the Switzerland page. Further comparison options include Graubünden and The Datsche - Village holidays in the CIS countries.

Align your accommodation search with your trip

Whether you choose a holiday apartment, holiday house or hotel, the first key question is whether your trip should focus more strongly on lakes and Alpine landscapes, the historic town of Schwyz, or the cultural attractions around Hurden and Freienbach. You can then compare the current offers according to your chosen focus and search specifically for a holiday apartment in Schwyz or a holiday house in Schwyz.

Once you have chosen your landscape or cultural focus, you can begin your specific accommodation search.
