Since 1875 it has been possible to catch the train from the centre of the city to the summit of this mountain to the southwest.
Taking the S10 on the SZU from Hauptbahnhof you’ll be near the top in just 25 minutes.
From the station on Uetlibertg you’ll just have brief walk to the peak.
And up there the scenery is out of this world, as you gaze over Zürich, its rivers, the lake and the snow-capped Alps in the background.
