• Train to the top on the S10 to Uetliberg station, or walk up the Hohenstein Trail from the Triemli bus stop past the Hohensteinplatz playground
• Above the fog in November, when the summit often sits in sunshine while the city below stays gray
• Toboggan run in winter through the forest down toward Triemli, when the trails turn to sled runs

Zurich's local mountain rises to 871 meters, with forest trails, a 70-meter observation tower at the summit (178 steps) and views over the city, the lake and, on clear days, the Alps. The Planet Trail is an easy two-hour walk to Felsenegg through a scaled-down solar system.

In winter a toboggan run drops through the forest toward Triemli, and in November the top often sits above the fog.
