• The hotel beds in the city of Zug are already fully booked during the 31st Swiss Yodelling Festival.

• Other places to stay, such as campsites, are also packed.

• This gives resourceful Zug residents ideas for making a lot of money with boat moorings, for example.

The Confederate Yodeling festival in Zug stands in front of the door. This will take place next weekend. However, overnight accommodations are rare: The Hotels are fully booked and civil defense facilities and gymnasiums, which have been converted into sleeping quarters for the occasion, are also packed to capacity. Who now with a place to sleep on the campsites liebäugele will also be disappointed, reports the “Zuger Zeitung”.

The number of visitors to the yodelling festival who stayed in and outside the City of Zug There were still plenty of people who were looking for places to stay, says Dominic Keller, Managing Director of Zug Tourismus. “We get a lot of phone calls and emails from people who are still looking for accommodation.”

That’s why some people in Zug sense the possibility of earning a little extra: As the “Zuger Zeitung” reports, a look at the Airbnb booking platform has confirmed this.

With creativity, a St. Gallen get hold of a hotel room

According to this, an apartment with four beds can be booked near the center for CHF 735 per night or you can sleep on a motorboat in the harbor for CHF 677 per night. Keller says to the “Zuger Zeitung” that he regrets the high prices, but Zug is a really expensive place and he therefore understands the process of supply and demand. Because Zug doesn’t exactly excel when it comes to the selection of hotels, Keller dreams of Zug having one or two more hotels.

There are also creative minds: for example, a St. Gallen traveled to Zug and left his business card in two hotels. Because a guest canceled his room, he was given the room and can now look forward to spending the nights during the yodelling festival in a comfortable hotel bed.
