This excursion to the countryside appeals to guests who enjoy hiking off the beaten track and are in average to good physical condition. An unforgettable experience and surprising views are guaranteed. Europe’s largest yew tree forest is located on the Northern slopes of the Uetliberg, and narrow tracks facilitate close contact with nature. Zürich’s local mountain can be challenging, and participants should be equipped with light walking shoes for the uphill trek spanning a difference in altitude of 400 m/437 yards. Taking a snack and a rain jacket if the weather is uncertain is recommended. We begin our tour with a 15-minute tram ride via Bahnhofstrasse and Paradeplatz to Albisgütli. Anyone who is tired or would like to avoid the descent because of knee problems, for example, can travel back down independently by rail from the Uetliberg terminus. Our experienced Toptrek guide provides periodic explanations along the way and looks forward to your questions. Groups usually consist of no more than six people.
The hike ends at a station on the Uetlibergbahn (S10) with a direct connection back to the main station. Accident insurance is the responsibility of the participants. Maximum group size: 10 people
