Uetliberg

We walked up from Waldegg (but there are other paths to reach this mountain, besides the train) and it was an easy and nice walk in the nature and woods. At the top it was crowded and full of life, with stalls of food and a Chistmas-like atmosphere (despite being February). The view over Zurich was great.

Beautiful views of the surrounding mountains - well worth it to go up the tower and enjoy the scenery!

The mountain has stunning views at the top. There is also a restaurant, coffee van, and a viewing tower. There are lots of walking trails, a set of planet sculptures, playgrounds, barbecue areas, WW2 ruins, bike trails, and the remains of what were once fortifications. There are mainly pine, sequoia, and birch trees. Dotted around, there are information boards about the history of the forest. These have an English translation. It was very busy at the weekend, so I had to go down some of the smaller tracks to get time alone. There was not very much birdsong, but I did see a bird of prey. You can either walk one of the trails up and down or catch the train. The station is located around 10 minutes from the top. It has a couple of toilets, though these had big queues throughout the day, and they were not very clean. They were free to use, though I am not sure whether that is the case all year round, so I would suggest having some loose change. There was also a restaurant, though this was closed. The station is accessible to wheelchair users. There is a wide main path from this point, but it is graveled and steep, so it would be difficult in a wheelchair. The hotel runs an electric cart from the station to the hotel for guests. It might be worth contacting them to see whether you can book a ride.

A really nice hike up the radio tower from Strassenverkerhrsamt with some parts with some quite high inclination ~30° but short. As usual in Switzerland you feel a bit in a very urban hike when you get to the top, with restaurants and a couple of stores. The view is amazing you can see almost the whole Alps range and Zurich city with a 180° view. There are people taking a different route to get up with a mountain bike as well.

Awesome place! View of Zurich from top to the mountain! Frequent trains from Zurich HBB! Get one day pass for the train… you are free to go around Zurich!!! Top of Zurich!!!

The best view from the Top of Zurich. Easy to reach by tram from the central station Zurich HB. The view very beautiful as in daylight and in the night. The most time i prefer in December full with lighting cozy place to visit.

Great for a day trip! Leave approx. 2-3 hrs round trip, worth paying 2CHF for the trip to the top of Zurich tower. View is amazing and brisk breeze fantastic.

Beautiful. Best for hiking and to see Zurich city from top of the mountain.
