A hillwalking opportunity next to Zurich
Anyone visiting Zurich who might fancy adding a short hillwalk to the their stay, might consider bagging a very mirror ‘Alp’ called Uetliberg, which provides great views over the city, the Zurichsee Lake and the surrounding mountains. It’s a popular day trip for visitors as you can catch a train in central Zurich to Uetliberg Station, which leaves you just a 1km hike up through a forested hillside to the summit (451m). There is a bar/restaurant there to slake your thirst and multiple viewing points. You will also have the option of doing one of the multiple longer treks through the nearby forested hills.
