Fehraltorf
Fehraltorf – well known for its annual horse races – has remained a highly attractive place for living and working despite a rapid increase in the number of inhabitants. Industry and commerce have flourished in parallel with the extensive construction work and have brought with them an above-average amount of new jobs. Centrally situated school premises, good childcare facilities, rich cultural offerings and numerous clubs and associations add up to a high quality of life. Thanks to the interurban railway connection, the urban centers of Winterthur and Zurich, as well as Zurich airport, can be reached in a matter of minutes. And there are plenty of opportunities for recreation at one’s doorstep thanks to the mostly rural surroundings and the numerous sports facilities.
