Uetliberg Mountain — Zurich's Local Mountain & Alpine Panorama

Uetliberg (the 871-metre mountain immediately southwest of central Zurich — Zurich's 'local mountain' (Hausberg), accessible in 25 minutes by the S10 train from Zurich Hauptbahnhof to the Uetliberg station at 869 metres): the Uetliberg summit (with its 50-metre observation tower, the Uto Kulm Hotel, and the extensive ridge walk south along the Albiskette ridge to Felsenegg) provides the finest panoramic view of Zurich and the Alpine arc — on clear days the entire Alpine chain from Säntis to Mont Blanc is visible from the observation tower.
