One of our first hikes in Switzerland (in winter) was the ridge line from Uetliberg to Felsenegg. We repeated the hike on Sunday with Nona and Papa and enjoyed the beautiful fall weather and views of Zürich and the lake region. It was much easier going without our snow pants and ski jackets, and we noticed the difference in the kids' willingness to hike. Hanna complained bitterly on the first few hikes we took, and even was carried a few times. Now she hikes out in front with Leif with a smile. Elisabet still requires a bit of bribing and coaxing, particularly on the hills, but she has also made progress over the last few months. Maybe it's those Friday hikes with their school classes.
The hike follows the top of the Albis chain of hills, a glacial moraine remaining from the formation of the Zürichsee. Uetliberg is one of the highest points at 873 m.
The leaves are just starting to change colors here. The weather has been sunny and beautiful nearly every day. We often have thick fog in the morning, but it typically burns off by noon.
