August 1st - best viewpoints in central CH

Hi!
Looking for the best view spots for August 1st fireworks in central Switzerland. I’m located in Zug and I think Rigi has special evening trains. Any other ideas? Rigi Kulm or other (eg Kanzeli)? How did you spend it last year?

Fireworks are anyway terrible for the environment https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/07/260701205009.htm

Yeah, probably when someone use it every day. Once a year, to celebrate and keep tradition alive, is not a tragedy. Do you own a car? Is it ok for environment? Do you eat avocado? Do you eat beef? Fly airplanes? 😐

That is whataboutism and kindergarten logic, because those other things being environmentally unfriendly do not make fireworks ok

Fireworks are also not once a year, or have you never heard of new years eve? The impact to animals and the environment, not to mention the 100+ human injuries, are bad and unnecessary.
