5. Indoor Racquet Sports
Zurich has several indoor tennis courts that are open to the public. You can reserve them online at GotCourts. Some aren’t heated well, so it can get cold in winter – bundle up!
There are several indoor sports complexes (not private clubs) around Switzerland that have indoor sport courts, like badminton, tennis, squash, etc. Near Zürich, we like Sihlsports in Langnau.
We can also recommend Morschach Swiss Holiday Park south of Luzern and Säntispark near St. Gallen.
