Hiking Tour from Zurich: Uetliberg

Step into the heart of Zurich’s great outdoors with a scenic hike across the lush trails of Uetliberg and Felsenegg.

 

This adventure invites you to trade city streets for forest paths, where every turn reveals sweeping panoramic views of Zurich, its shimmering lake, and the majestic Swiss Alps beyond.

A perfect balance of nature and discovery, this tour offers a refreshing escape — an opportunity to breathe deeply, move freely, and experience the beauty of Zurich from an entirely new perspective.

What you'll do

Start: Your adventure begins with a flexible meeting point tailored to your convenience and preferences — making it easy to begin your hike stress-free.

 

Easy–Moderate Path: For a relaxed and scenic experience, follow a comfortable 6 km (3.7 miles) trail that takes approximately 2 hours to complete (200 m / 650 ft ascent, 230 m / 750 ft descent). This gentle route allows you to fully immerse yourself in Zurich’s stunning natural landscapes without strenuous effort. The journey begins with a short train ride from Zurich’s Main Station (Zurich HB).

 

Challenge Ascent: If you’re looking for a bit more adventure, opt for an additional 2 km (1.2 miles) climb (350 m / 1,150 ft ascent). This 45-minute to 1-hour ascent adds a rewarding physical challenge — and the panoramic views from the top will make every step worthwhile.

 

Natural Splendors: Take in magnificent vistas of the Swiss Alps, Lake Zurich, and the city skyline spread out below — a perfect blend of nature and urban beauty.

 

Breaks: We take short, flexible breaks along the way for rest, hydration, and snacks. At the end of the trail, you’ll be rewarded with a charming mountain restaurant — ideal for a hearty meal, a light snack, or simply a few peaceful moments enjoying the breathtaking views.

 

Return: Conclude your hike with a scenic cable car descent to Adliswil, followed by a relaxing train ride back to Zurich.

 

Alternative Return: For those who prefer to keep hiking, a steep 30-minute descent to Adliswil offers a satisfying end to your day on the trail.

 

Duration & Pace: The full tour lasts up to 6 hours, including rest stops and a lunch break. The itinerary is fully adaptable to your pace and preferences, ensuring a comfortable, personal, and memorable experience.
