The Uetliberg rises to 871 metres above sea level over the rooftops of Zurich, with views of the city, the lake and the Alps; it is often above the fog that lies on the city in November. Trails lead to the summit, and the Planet Trail runs on to Felsenegg. The SZU station at the main station is closed until 12 December 2026, so the S10 starts at Selnau until then.
