Intro

The Albishorn, Hochwacht, Felsenegg and Uetliberg are the four best-known viewpoints on the Albis chain and are linked by a network of walking and hiking trails.

The Felsenegg can be reached from Adliswil in the Sihl valley, just outside Zurich, with the only public cable car in the canton of Zurich – part of the Zurich transport network. It sweeps you up to 803 metres above sea level in just five minutes. When you arrive on the Felsenegg, you will find breathtaking views, a tempting restaurant and countless walking trails.

To the south you can walk to the Albis Pass, to the north take the planet trail (Planetenweg) from Pluto via Neptune, Saturn and Earth to the Sun on the Uetliberg (each metre of the trail represents 1 million kilometres in the solar system).
