The Uetliberg is Zurich’s local mountain: accessible by S-Bahn line S10 from Zurich main station in 20 minutes, with a 360-degree panorama at the 871-meter summit over the city, Lake Zurich, and the Alps. Free to walk once at the summit; the train ticket covers the fare. The Planetenweg ridge trail to Felsenegg is a gentle 90-minute walk with a cable car back down. Most Zurich visitors miss this entirely, which is their loss.
