In Uetliberg, you can hiking, biking, paragliding, camping and in winter you can sledding. Or if you're love photography, you can capturing any view in the top of mountain, like I did. Anyway, the view is very stunning, in winter evrything is white. For me, tropical creature, tasting snow is very fantastic and magical. So, during this trip in Zurich, I'm gonna taste more snow ;)
