Altberg, Mountain summit in Zürich, Switzerland
The Altberg rises between Limmattal and Furttal valleys, reaching an elevation of 631 meters above sea level with numerous hiking trails across its slopes.
The mountain area belonged to the Alemannic settlement of Tano, which later transformed into Dänikon, with land ownership divided among monasteries and noble families.
The construction of observation towers on Altberg since the 19th century reflects the local population's interest in appreciating the regional landscape views.
Visitors can access multiple marked hiking paths throughout the mountain, with parking facilities available and a restaurant serving traditional Swiss dishes.
A new 30-meter observation tower, constructed in 2010 for 660,000 Swiss Francs, stands at the ridge providing panoramic views of the surrounding region.
