Welcome to the town of Widen—the town with a vision for the future

This forward-thinking community is situated in a scenic, sunny location. With its rural character yet proximity to economic hubs, Widen is one of the most sought-after residential areas in the canton of Aargau.

Innovative schools and a wide range of shopping options are part of the Mutschellen region, which is easily accessible by public transportation. The Bremgarten-Dietikon Railway plays a key role in providing access to the region. With its passenger-friendly schedule, it ensures connections to the major transit networks. Even the gateway to the wider world is close by: Zurich Airport is only 22 kilometers away.

People live and work in this forward-thinking community. Nature offers relaxation, as does a stroll to the Gyrenweiher pond or the Hasenberg recreational area, home to the Hasenberg Tower, which opened in 2021. Sports enthusiasts can work out at the sports, recreation, and community center or join one of the many clubs in Widen or on the Mutschellen. High-quality dining delights food lovers. It’s no surprise: life in Widen is good.

The municipality of Widen has a population of around 4,000, lies 561 meters above sea level, and covers an area of 262 hectares, 44 of which are forest.

Organizing this high-caliber sporting event requires a great deal of effort. The Widen Municipal Council would like to thank the organizers and all volunteers for their dedication. It wishes everyone a successful sporting event, hopes visitors will have a wonderful time and create unforgettable memories, and extends best wishes for camaraderie to the flight teams from around the world. ■
