The best views of the city and the lake, follow locals to their favorite weekend place, the Uetliberg. Southwest of Zürich, the Uetliberg is the most northern place in the Albis ridge. Easy to reach by the Uetlibergbahn, a mountain railroad that runs year-round from Selnau station to the upper station. From this place, there is a 10-minute walk to the summit. The broad walkways well lit at night and lead to the summit restaurant, a glass-enclosed space with beautiful views of the city lights below.
Daytime views from the lookout tower stretch across the Valais, Bernese, and Glarus Alps. With the Black Forest to the north and the Säntis to the east. From here, an easy ridge walk to the Felsenegg takes a little more than an hour. You can return to Zurich by the Sihltalbahn. Riding to the Uetliberg at night for a dinner of fondue and views of the city with its lights reflected in the snow is one of the locals’ favorite things to do in Zürich in the winter.
