Of this area, 27.7% is used for agricultural purposes, 48.6% is forested, 22.5% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (1.2%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).

The wettest month is June during which time Langnau am Albis receives an average of 159 mm (6.3 in) of precipitation.

[7] Today's community boasts a very high standard of living with a very strong school system, plenty of green space, excellent public transportation connecting the surrounding villages and the city of Zürich, a dozen restaurants, 2 hotels, a leading Tennis and Squash Club, an Indoor Swimming Center, the vibrant Football Club Langnau, the Turbine Theater (a small theater in the old turbines of a renovated former textile mill), a public library, and over 45 other clubs and social organizations.

[5] A major attraction of the town is the Wildpark Langenberg, a zoo in a largely undeveloped location on a wooded hill within the town of Langnau where animals such as the wolf, lynx and ibex can be watched roaming freely.

Views of the Cantons Zurich and Zug and the Swiss Alps can be gained from the Hochwachtturm, a 33m tall wooden tower, accessible to the public, located on top of the Albis range about 1.5 km from the Albis pass.

Near the town and overlooking Schnabellücken pass are the ruins of Schnabelburg Castle, that was erected in 1150 to guard the road from Zurich to Lucerne (destroyed in 1309).

The Langnau-Gattikon railway station is a stop of the Zurich S-Bahn on the line S4 and is a 21-minute ride from Zürich Hauptbahnhof.
