Mathilde shows us some spots in and around Zurich to stretch your legs and embrace the tranquillity of the surrounding nature.
Käferberg.
Enjoy a myriad of meandering walks only a short ride from Zurich’s city centre. Käferberg is a small, wooded mountain offering amazing views across Limmat Valley. Make sure to check out the different vantage points where you’ll be able to view both Zurich and the snowcapped Alps if the weather is on your side.
Loorenkopf.
Only 25 minutes from Zurich HBF, Loorenkopf is a circular trail leading through a ravine to an observation tower where you’ll get views across Zurich. Most of the walk is through dense forest but is an easy walk for all ages and can also be accessed via public transport.
Uetliberg.
A short train ride from Zurich, you’ll find a panoramic viewpoint over the city of Zurich and mountains looming above the houses and Lake Zurich. Uetliberg is a low elevation hill with playgrounds, picnic parks and viewpoints for both friends and family to enjoy.
