uetliberg mountain hike


The section on the right is labeled “exponiert”, which means it’s exposed with sections not in the forest, so you get views to the lake.

The Uetliberg is the most popular daytrip destination in and around Zurich.

Trailforks scans ridelogs to determine the last time a trail was ridden. Colors indicate trail is missing specified detail. From Albisgüetli (terminus on tram line 13), the Denzlerweg is full of variety and takes you to the peak in a fairly straight direction. From Zurich centre (especially near Bürkliplatz and Bellevue), the telecomms mast with its red lights at Uetliberg Kulm is clearly visible, on the green ridge to the West of town.

Hohensteinweg will take you from Triemli (terminus on tram line 14) up along a mountain shoulder. Sunset and view by night are breathtaking. The Uto Kulm – the peak of the Uetliberg at 871 meters above sea level – is an attractive hiking destination from the city of Zurich.
This path is less steep than the others.

You’ll need at least 4 hours for this one because the hike ends at the Adliswil train station and you’ll need to take the train back to Zürich.

I’ve shown the trail starting from the Albisgüetli stop (end of the line for Tram 13) at the base of Uetliberg, right near the trailhead that starts in the forest. All of my recommended trails are well maintained trails but do include very steep climbs/descents, which can be hard on the knees and sometimes slippery with loose gravel. The trail down feels less challenging that the way up because there are more switchbacks and more stairs, which make the climb/descent slightly easier. In summer, there’s plenty to discover on well-marked hiking routes, a mountain bike route, and on the Planet Trail. This trail simply goes up and down Uetliberg on parallel trails, the shortest option here. The Uetliberg is particularly popular in November, as its summit is often above the blanket of fog that can cover the city at this time of year.

The wider trails I show below are much safer options. *.

The Uto Kulm – the peak of the Uetliberg at 871 meters above sea level – is an attractive hiking destination from the city of Zurich. You are taking all the provided information at your own risk.

It’s easy to reach and offers impressive views of the city of Zurich, Lake Zurich and the Alpine panorama.

Here you can go hiking, walking and jogging. There is a tower you can climb. I offer this information because there are lots of tiny paths leading to Uetliberg, but most are not well maintained and can be dangerous, especially after wet weather.

A forest trail leads from the parking lot in Uitikon-Waldegg to the peak. Für diese Webseite gibt es momentan keine Übersetzung. It leads past wonderful viewpoints. But after my first time up the mountain, I was hooked and now I hike up there often because it’s an excellent free workout and close to home. It has a great restaurant and stunning views over the region, Zurich and the Zurich lake. From the top, you can expect a great view of Zurich, the lake, and the surrounding area. More details for the Panorama/Planet trail here.

You can do all this right in Zurich on the Uetliberg. 35 trails with 32 photos This trail is a loop, hiking up Uetliberg, then north along the ridge (aka Gratwegli) then down the Hohensteinweg, then back along the Panorama trail on the edge of the forest.
Here are a couple views along the Panorama trail.

So wear good shoes and use good judgement. This is a good option if you want to hike longer but want to loop back your starting point or if you don’t want to leave the city. I marked the trail starting at the Saalsporthalle train station at Sihlcity (Train S4, Tram 5 & 13), which is convenient because train back from Adliswil stops here. ... or walking, tobogganing, picnicking? Trailforks scans users ridelogs to determine the most popular direction each trail is ridden.

The best-known trail is the spectacular Gratweg from Uetliberg via Felsenegg to the Albis Pass or further across the Albishorn to Sihlbrugg village. There is a large parking lot at Birmensdorferstrasse 12, 8142 Uitikon Waldegg where I’ve started the trail shown below.

But you could shorten this trail by taking tram 13 to the Albisgütli stop and start there. The Uetliberg is not so much a mountain, but more a ridge of hills at around 900m which forms a very large area perfect for hiking and biking, right on the doorstep of Zurich.

I have three trail options below, which are a good starting place.
