All you need to know:
We've done this one before and I am not really a person who likes to go to the same places again and again, but this place is really worth it ποΈπ¨πβ€οΈ
- hike is around 1 h drive from Zurich
- first part can be covered with a cable car, or by foot (around 1 h)
- the path is pretty steep, lots of stairs
- takes around 1.5 h to go up and 40-60 min to go down
- views are amazing! π
- there is a small restaurant on the top, selling simple snack foods, soup, coffee and locally known nuss- or mandel gipfeli (kind of croissant with nut or almond filling - 4.5 CHF per piece)
- paid parking right across the street from the cable car (we paid 4.8 for 4 hours)
- there is a cable to charge an electric car (a bit hidden inside the garage, but fully available with google pay only)
- e-bike charger is also available in the parking lot
- cable car departs every 15-30 min, best to check times online (13 chf one way, 20 chf return for adult, Halbtax or GA not accepted)
- it's possible to take a dog on this hike, but the path is quite steep and the dog has to be on a leash the entire time
- the hike is not really suitable for small kids, bit we saw a few preschoolers on the path. They were wearing a harness attached to the adult, for safety
There are multiple hiking paths available in the same spot, in case the weather doesn't allow you yo go to the very top, there are always other options ποΈ
