Albis Ridge Trail from Uetliberg to Albishorn

The Albis chain forms the western rim of the Lake Zürich basin, and a ridge route follows it from Uetliberg in the north toward the Albishorn (about 909 m) in the south. The path passes Felsenegg, then continues through forest and over open meadows with views east to the lake and south to the Alps, before reaching the Albis pass area and the Albishorn. Distances vary with the variant chosen, and the route is generally walked in one direction with a bus or train back from Langnau am Albis or Sihlwald. The tracks are marked as yellow hiking trails with a few steeper sections and muddy stretches in wet weather. Walkers should be reasonably fit and plan for 5 to 6 hours of walking, and should carry food and water since refreshment stops are limited in the stretches between.
