Hüttchopf

The Hüttchopf (1232.1 m) is a mountain in the canton of Zurich, it is located in the Zurich Oberland in the Töss source area. It is forested except for the summit area and has the shape of a three-sided pyramid. The southern flank, the eastern spur and the northeastern flank are very steep and only a few forest and hiking trails traverse the steep terrain. Below the eastern spur, which narrows further up to 1100 m at the Bruederegg to the eastern ridge, is the Tössscheidi (796 m) where the Vordere Töss and Hintere Töss join to form the Töss, which then flows in a deep valley under the northeastern flank (Tösswald). The course of the Vordere Töss runs deeply cut under the southern flank (Hessen). The Züttbach rises under the less steep western flank.As mentioned above, the Hüttchopf has three distinct ridges that run along hiking or mountain trails. The southwest ridge begins in the Überzütt saddle (1146m). From the Brandegg (1243m) it is the most frequently used path (T1) to the Hüttchopf. The almost 2km long northwest ridge is the least steep of all the Hüttchopf ridges. It begins in the Tannensattel (959m) and has an easy hiking trail (T1) that makes it easy to cross the Hüttchopf. The most interesting is the ascent on a steep mountain trail (T2) through the east flank and the east ridge that begins at the Tössscheidi.

Beautiful view, accessible via various hiking trails around the Tössstock!

The Hüttchopf is also ideal for a MTB tour (see tour from 17.10.19)
