The city of Zurich has had a strong bike culture for many years, with the legendary "Pizza Cup" being just one of the creative results. This active bike scene also gave rise to the "Many Hill Show" many years ago. The big ride around the city of Zurich is now experiencing a revival. On 26 September, people will meet up for a bike tour of 73 or 100 kilometers.

The "Many Hill Show" rides from the city of Zurich through all the agglomeration forests over the Pfannenstiel to Meilen. The ferry takes you to the other side of Lake Zurich and over the Albis to the Uetliberg. The "small" loop leads via Urdorf to Gubrist and from there over the Hönggerberg back to the starting point at Irchel University. The "big" loop, which is 100 kilometers long, makes a larger loop via Dietikon to the Altberg and from there back to Irchel University.The "Many Hill Show" is impressive proof of how close the city and countryside are in Zurich. It is a tour of contrasts: from the lonely trail on the Forch to the busy Uetliberg, from the suburban dreariness of Dietikon to the high-tech university on the Hönggerberg or the villa districts on the Gold Coast. In the Zurich area, nature and civilization are sometimes only a few metres apart. And which metropolis can offer a veritable bike marathon with a stunning alpine panorama for a ride around the city?

On September 26, people will meet at 8 a.m. at the open race track in Zurich Oerlikon for this year's "Many Hill Show". The event is not a race, but an uncomplicated ride with like-minded people. And if you want to tackle the "Many Hill Show" individually, you can download the GPS track from the dedicated website.
