Surrounded by lush nature, Zurich is home to numerous oases for active recreation: the local mountain, Uetliberg, and the Käferberg are popular retreats. Many parks and idyllic walking paths, as well as the lakeshore and the banks along the Limmat and Sihl rivers, are also ideal places for enjoying a stroll, jogging, or biking.
Especially in summer, Zurich scores with its prime location on two rivers and a lake. Countless lidos invite you to take a dip in the refreshing water, while pedalos, SUPs, and kayaks can be hired at many locations.
As if that wasn’t enough, the majestic Swiss mountains are just a short distance away. Hiking in the region around Zurich is a really pleasurable experience, as the hiking routes presented here show. They can all be reached quickly and easily by public transportation from Zurich Main Station in less than 60 minutes.
