Tag: Hikes in Zürich (ZH)
All hikes in canton Zürich (ZH).
-
Stage 1 of Zürich-Zugerland Panorama Trail (Trail 47) is 13 km long with 700 m of ascent and 400 m of descent. It includes a hike up to the top of Uetliberg, the highest local point overlooking Zürich, followed by a hike along the Albis Ridge.
-
A summary of hiking the compete Trail 84, the Zürichsee-Rundweg, a ten stage trail that starts in Bürkliplatz and loops around lake Zürich (including the Obersee).
-
This very popular, pretty trail circumnavigates the Türlersee, a small lake in the district of Affoltern, in Canton Zürich. At only 4.5 kilometers and almost no elevation change, this trail was the perfect easy walk for a less than perfect day.
-
The Sihlwald Circular Trail (length 13 km, ascent 570 m, descent 570 m) is a fun loop trail that starts at the Sihlwald Bahnhoff, goes through the forest up to the fabulous views at the Albishorn, and ends with a lovely easy walk along the riverside as it returns to the Sihlwald Bahnhoff.
-
Stage 10 (length 11 km, ascent 190 m, descent 320 m) is also the final stage of the Zürichsee-Rundweg.
-
Stage 9 (length 8 km, ascent 260 m, descent 150 m) took us from Meilen to Küsnacht.
-
We completed stage 8 – Stäfa to Meilen (length 12 km, ascent 340 m, descent 380 m).
-
Back on the trail with stage 7 of the Zürichsee-rundweg hike (length 14 km, ascent 380 m, descent 320 m). The panorama views on stage 7 were some of the best views so far.
-
The Buchenegg Trail (length 8.5 km, ascent 304 m, descent 304 m) has views of Lake Zürich, and the Türlersee, along with rolling hills, forests, and green pastures.
-
We completed Stage 4 – Richterswil to Pfäffikon. As I expected based on the stats (17 km, and an ascent 780 m and descent 760 m), this was the most challenging so far.
-
Stage 3 starts at the Horgen train station and goes along the lake shore down to the Richterswil train station. At 13 km, this trail is long enough to be a hike, but with only minimal elevation change it felt more like a very long stroll.
-
Stage 2 (length 12 km, ascent 260 m, descent 300 m) picks up where stage 1 left off in Adliswil and ends in Horgen on the shore of Lake Zürich.
