By Car

Since Pfäffikon is within the Zürich metropolitan area, it is served by its suburban trains (Zürich S-Bahn). The S2, S5 and S8 lines all offer 2 trains per hour to Zürich Hbf, of which the S2 is the fastest (35 min), followed by S8 (42 min) and S5 (45 min). S2 and S8 use the same route to Zürich Hbf; however, S2 makes limited stops along the line and S8 all stops. It is also possible to use the S2 to get to Zürich Airport (50-55 min). All-zone day and monthly cards are fully valid (see for more information). Don't go to Pfäffikon ZH by mistake!

By Train

Also, IR-trains and IC-trains to Chur and Basel have hourly stops.

If you prefer the car then the Autobahn A3 to Chur/Zurich brings you to Pfäffikon. Keep in mind the loads of commuters so in the morning and evening rush hour it might take 10-15 minutes more as the main road (Churerstrasse) is utilized beyond it's capacity. There is also the entry/exit Schindellegi on the A3 but entry is only in the direction to Chur and exit in direction to Zurich (not both ways!)

• Seedamm. An almost natural bridge between Pfäffikon and Rapperswil. It's a nice walk ob about one hour and its part of the St. James path to the monastery of Einsiedeln as well. The wooden bridge is nice to walk along to see birds on the lake. 
• Castle Pfäffikon, Unterdorf (between train station & lake),  Historic castle that was renovated and today is also used as wedding room from the community
• Island Ufenau, (with ZSG boat),  Small island between Pfäffikon and Rapperswil. Scenic walk around the island. There is also a restaurant and it is popular for marriages in summer
• Vögele Kulturzentrum, Gwattstrasse 14 (above Seedamm Center),  Art and cultural exhibition to reflect question of our time
