Why Uetliberg matters
A short train ride from the main station takes you up Zurich's own hill, the Uetliberg. A lookout tower and the ridge paths offer a huge panorama over the city, the lake and, on clear days, a line of Alpine peaks. Locals come to walk, run and watch sunsets, and many hikes begin right at the top.
Talking points
- It is reachable by a regular suburban train.
