One misty morning my sister and I took the Sihltal Zurich Uetlibergbahn (SZU) from Zurich Hauptbahnhof towards Uetliberg. At the end station, we read a sign with an arrow pointing upwards saying ”Uetliberg 15 min”. We who had expected a strenuous hike to the 871 m (2856 ft) high top realised that the guide book we had read earlier hinted at another hiking path further down the valley. It didn’t take us more than 5 minutes to reach the top and another couple of minutes to the 30 m high viewing tower.

If you want to admire the view from Uetliberg, do it on a clear day, preferably in the morning, or later in the evening if you’d like to see the blinking lights of Zürich.
