Height of the Uetliberg

The Uetliberg (870 m a.s.l.) is the local mountain of the city of Zurich in Switzerland and a vantage point with a view across the city, Lake Zurich and the Alps.

The Uetliberg is part of the Albis ridge. The nearest summit in the chain is Felsenegg 6 km to the west. The nearby summit of Adlisberg is somewhat higher.

The Uetliberg is a popular destination for hiking and is easily accessible by the Uetlibergbahn, a rack railway from Selnau in the city of Zurich. The summit offers panoramic views of the city, the lake and the Alps, and there are several restaurants, a hotel and a tower with a viewing platform. The Uetliberg is also a popular spot for sledding in the winter.

The mountain is composed of Molasse sandstone, formed from the erosion of the Alps over millions of years. The Uetliberg was first mentioned in a document in 1229, and the first inn was built on the summit in 1809.

The Uetliberg is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, and is a great place to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Zurich region.
