About Uetliberg

The Uetliberg is the local mountain of the city of Zurich. It offers a great view over the city and Lake Zurich. The observation tower at the summit extends the view up to the Alps on clear days. At a height of 870 m above sea level, it's a popular destination for hikers, nature lovers, and mountain bikers. A nice hiking trail for families is the 6 km long Planet Trail. It leads from the Uetliberg over the Albis Pass to Felsenegg and includes informative panels. Thanks to the Uetlibergbahn, the mountain is easily accessible from the city. You’ll also find a restaurant with a large outdoor terrace and almost 500 seats.
