Spotguide Zürich
Zurich is a very attractive mountain biking hub. On the one hand because of the many trails with direct access to the city, the great routes around Lake Zurich but also the many attractive tours that can be reached every hour by S-Bahn.
In the vicinity of the city, the Uetliberg and the Zürichberg offer good trails. Either the routes specially built for mountain bikers or the trails that have been ridden for years. The routes in the "second line" are interesting. For example the Pfannenstil, the Altberg, the Heitersberg or the Albis. They are easily accessible from the city center as longer tours and can be perfectly combined with a swim in the Limmat or Lake Zurich.
One of the most important Zurich spots for mountain bikers is the main train station and the extensive S-Bahn network. This provides access to the Zurich Oberland, the Einsiedeln region and the Glarus region every hour. With this option, the city's mountain bike potential grows immeasurably. Even day trips in Graubünden are easily feasible by train.

Getting there
Zurich has excellent rail connections throughout Switzerland with its international train station in the city center. There are also good connections to Germany, Austria and northern Italy. If you are traveling by train, please note that reservations must be made for express trains.
In terms of highways, Zurich is the intersection of the Bern - St. Gallen, Basel - Chur and Lucerne - Schaffhausen lines. In other words: excellent accessibility. If arriving by car, it is advisable to park outside the city center and take public transport to the center.

Shuttles & Bike parks
There are only a few mountain railroads or shuttle options around the city of Zurich. The train up to the Uetliberg would be interesting, but bicycle transportation is not possible here. Much more relevant than mountain railroads in the case of the city of Zurich are the railroads that provide access to the surrounding regions. Bicycle transportation is easily possible on all lines outside rush hours.
