Thalwil

This quiet lakeside town is located five miles south of Zurich and easily reached by train, boat or car. Now a commuter suburb, it has preserved much of its charm as a former farming village and boasts a strong community culture as well as a wide range of shops and leisure activities.


Thalwil includes the hamlet of Gattikon and borders on Rüschlikon, Langnau, Oberrieden, Horgen and (across the lake) Erlenbach.

Coffee vs. Kaffi

Starbucks is coming to Thalwil. The famous green letters and logo have appeared outside the former UBS bank in Gotthardstrasse, announcing the latest addition to the local gastro scene.

The new outlet is just footsteps away from the venerable Chrottebach café. We eagerly await the head-to-head between the humble Swiss "Kaffi" and the mighty American coffee giant. Will it be traditional vs. trendy? Cups will be locked from 6. August. May the best coffee win!
