Zurich's very own mountain

Uetliberg with its peak at Uto Kulmo 871 meters above sea level stands over the roofs of Zurich. You can enjoy a beautiful unique panoramic view of the city of Zurich from the summit, Lake Zurich and the Limmat Valley as far as the Alps.

The summit of Uetliberg is often above the blanket of fog that can cover the city in period of November (popular in November). The long hiking trails to the summit are converted into sledding runs in the winter. The place is easily accessible by train from Zurich.

There is plenty to be discovered in summer on well-marked hiking routes, a mountain bike route and the Planet Trail. About two-hour walk from Uetliberg to Adliswil’s Felsenegg cableway brings you at the edge of fun tour of their Solar System layout. There are few walking trails leading up to the top from Albisgüetli, Triemli or Albisrieden with frequent water ways and beautiful camping spots. Uetliberg also has a mountain bike track. It starts from the camping area at the top of the mountain and finishes next to Triemli railway station.

Directions: The S10 line of the Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Railway SZU runs from Zurich main station to Uetliberg station. A ten minutes’ walk from the summit.
