Altberg Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The tower is located on the Altberg at 630 meters and packs another 30 meters on top. You reach the observation deck over 147 steps - at the top you have in good weather a breathtaking view of the warehouses, to Zurich and up to the peaks of the Alps.

Next to the tower is the Waldschänke, where you can treat yourself to a refreshment and strengthen yourself. It is open every day, except Tuesdays.

Highlight • Viewpoint

A great view. We were in December and there was a lot going on there. I can imagine that summer is really full.
