Uetliberg

Take advantage of a combo ticket that combines a sightseeing bus tour and train trip up to ‘Top of Zurich’. See the best of Zurich on board a reinvented Trolley, an air-conditioned Panorama bus that takes you on a round trip to the sights of Switzerland’s most populous city. Listen to detailed commentaries in one of the eleven languages available, and learn about the fascinating history and culture this beautiful city has to offer. Travel along the famous Bahnhofstrasse and the banking center to the lake with a view of the snowcapped mountains. See part of the old town with its magnificent guild houses and the churches St. Peter, Grossmünster and Fraumünster. Pass by the university quarter and the residential area Zürichberg, the National Museum and the Kunsthaus. Take unforgettable pictures at the most scenic viewpoints during a short photo stop. Onboard the Uetlibergbahn and travel on the steepest standard-track railway in Switzerland to the “Top of Zurich”, the Uetliberg (871 m above sea level). A short walk brings you to the summit and the lookout terrace next to the hotel restaurant Uto Kulm. Enjoy from here a fantastic view over the city, lake, forests and hills, to the white peaks of the Alps. The platform of the viewing tower at 900-meters above sea level offers the best view.

We'll meet at Zurich's Central Station, right under the giant angel figure. From there, we’ll head to Uetliberg, a short trip away, and begin the ascent for about 10-15 minutes. The hike is moderate, so it’s perfect for anyone with a bit of energy to spare. Once we reach the top, we'll pause and start preparing our own traditional Swiss raclette, and I’ll guide you through everything you need to know about this iconic dish. While we prepare the meal, you’ll learn the history behind raclette and its importance in Swiss culture, and of course, we’ll get to know each other better. It's a great chance to share experiences, stories, and laughs while enjoying the process of cooking together. The atmosphere is relaxed, and it’s all about enjoying and appreciating the moment. After the meal, we’ll take a walk around the viewpoint to get the best panoramic shots of Zurich, why not pics of you too with the city below, and the stunning Alps in the distance. It’s the perfect spot to capture some beautiful memories. We’ll then make our way back down, enjoying the scenic descent and wrapping up at our initial meeting point, where you can continue exploring Zurich or simply arrange another plan together.
