The Albis chain is a striking, largely forested mountain ridge that runs parallel to the Sihl and Lake Zurich from Sihlbrugg to Urdorf / Schlieren. It is flanked by two valleys, the Sihl valley in the east and the Reppisch valley in the west. The eastern flank of the Albis is steep, characterized by ridges, deep ditches and numerous streams. It is geomorphologically extremely active, sparsely populated and largely covered by the Sihl forest. The western side is less steep and has an unusually strong interweaving of forest and grassland on steep slopes for the Central Plateau. Here, the interaction between site conditions and human use has led to diverse, sometimes rare habitats.

The Albis lies between the Sihl Valley in the east and the Reppisch Valley and the Aeugster Valley with the Türlersee in the west. The mountain ridge is followed by the district border between the Affoltern district in the west and the Horgen district and the city of Zurich on the east and northeast sides.

The Albis is a mountain range in the canton of Zurich, which runs from Sihlbrugg in the south to Urdorf/Schlieren near Zurich in the north for about 22 kilometers parallel to the Sihl and Lake Zurich.

What I find particularly nice: The first "gondola" of the cable car, which by the way was put into operation in 1954, were those of the legendary national exhibition or "Landi" from 1939. It's even better to go up and down! https://www.teddy-b.ch/tipp-der-woche/luftseilbahn-adliswil-felsenegg-danke-landi/

High-priced restaurant 4 stars, impressive view

Mountain station of the Adliswil cable car

A single journey currently costs CHF 4.40. There is also a hiking trail right next to/under the railway. However, this is relatively steep and takes a little longer. The cable car ride took about five minutes.
