I also went from Sellenbüren, but there is no public parking at the location indicated by E Skill so I had to park in the lot on the main street in Sellenbüren. This only added 5 minutes to the hike, however, and I think this is a great way to get up the mountain if you have your own car. Very quiet and lots of stairs. 35 minutes to get to the top and the views are awesome. I had a bratwurst and some homemade apple juice from a stand at the top, but there are also a couple nice restaurants with views if you want to stay longer. The trail at the top is more like a road with streetlights and many more people. A great diversion from Zurich.

This alternative trail I took starts by parking the car at this address: Hüttenrain 46 8143 Sellenbüren Switzerland And then hiking up. This is you are driving and want to park your car somewhere instead of figuring out transit. In my case I had a rental car so I wanted to not have to pay for parking somewhere. The view at the top is phenomenal! One of the best I have seen and I have summited a number of mountains in the Pacifc Northwest of Canada and USA, granted it was a clear and sunny day so weather might hamper the view. I paid 5 euros to get to the view point tower at the top.

On vacation and the locals recommended this hike, Uetliberg Mountain, the highest mountain Peak in Zurich. Started from the Albisguetli Trailhead (from Tram 13) and immediately you’re trekking uphill the entire way up, including the set of stairways near the peak! I was impressed with local elders, they were trekking like nothing. Great hike and best of all there are four (4) natural spring water stations. Total Garmin statistics; 3.66 RT mileage and 1,454’ steep elevation gains. Lastly, it cost CHF 5 to go to the top of the tower. Well worth it, the views are amazing!
Lovely views of Zurich!
Amazing views ❤️
Gear trail, rain and fog blocked the views. Recommend going a clear day for pics
Not too hard to do except for maybe the stairs for some people. But at least there were stairs as opposed to just steep hills. Great views of the city; just realize that if you hike this on a weekend in August apparently it'll sound like a warzone with the number of people hunting/shooting recreationally all around. That aspect was pretty strange.
In a beautiful day a wonderful relaxing experience.
Best part about this trail is that its in the city. Very easy to get to if youre in Zürich. Has some nice views of lake Zürich, and on a clear day can see the alps to the south
