Walk to the Uetliberg panorama
Uetliberg, immediate city-edge catchment, Switzerland
Uetliberg changes the scale of Zurich. From this wooded height above the city, the streets give way to a panorama of the lake and, in clear conditions, the Alps beyond. Arrive by the local railway and continue on foot, or make the ascent part of a longer walk suited to your ability. The experience is most rewarding when treated as time outdoors rather than a guaranteed photograph: weather, light and cloud can transform the view completely.
