A more chill hike this time, but still with a good amount of uphill.
Connection there
06:43 – 08:52 (Zürich HB → Urnerboden, Dorf)
Planned route
The route has a minimal variant which can optionally be extended by going closer to the Glattalpsee or even hiking/running around the lake. Closer to the Glattalpsee, we can split into two groups: one going around the lake while the other one chills and waits for the first group.
Total distance: 7.9 km, up to 13.2 km (with the lake loop)
Duration: 5:30 h (minimal), up to 7:10 h (with the lake loop)
Uphill/downhill: 980 m / 500 m
Difficulty: Moderate
Connection back
depending on our hiking time, for example 17:02 – 19:55 (Glattalp → Zürich HB)
- The first leg is a cable car from Glattalp to Sahli, operated by Glattalp Luftseilbahn.
- The ticket to the cable car (one-way descent) costs CHF 12 and must be bought on the spot (Twint or card)
- This means, when buying the SBB tickets, only get Bisisthal, Sahli Seilbahnstat. → Zürich HB
- The latest available cable car listed by SBB is at 17:02, but the Glattalp Fahrplan lists connections until 18:02
