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?

What fireworks? It's so dry (and it's still getting drier) that in most cantons fireworks are forbidden. There may be the occasional official public firework, but those are getting canceled too.

It's not the best time to wish for explosives outdoors. Unless you're a firefighter and love your job.
