Description
Escape the city and ride deep into Zurich’s legendary mountain. Explore hidden forest trails, feel the thrill of the climb, and take in breathtaking views from high above the rooftops.
Your adventure begins at the base of the mountain, right next to Zurich’s Strassenverkehrsamt, where your guide greets you with a warm welcome and prepares your mountain bike or e-MTB.
After a short introduction and safety briefing, you set off along the peaceful banks of the Sihl river. The city fades behind as you roll into the woods, where birdsong replaces traffic noise and fresh forest air fills your lungs.
The path gradually steepens, winding through shaded trails and sun-dappled clearings, offering glimpses of Zurich far below. As you climb higher, the trees thin out and anticipation builds. Reaching the summit, you're rewarded with a stunning 360-degree view over Lake Zurich, the city, and the distant Alps.
Here, you take a well-deserved break for photos and snacks, soaking in the quiet majesty of the mountaintop. The ride down begins with flowing trails that snake through the forest, offering a mix of adrenaline and serenity.
