Felsenegg, Mountain summit in Albis, Switzerland

Felsenegg is a summit in the Albis range near Zurich that reaches about 804 meters in elevation with a viewpoint at the top. From this vantage point, visitors survey the length of Lake Zurich and the surrounding foothills extending toward distant Alpine peaks.

An aerial tramway was built here in the mid-20th century, making the summit accessible to visitors from Zurich. This infrastructure transformed the natural landmark into a popular destination for day trips.

The location sits on the Planet Trail, a walking route that brings solar system distances into human scale. Visitors experience how these vast cosmic measurements translate to a walk between two nearby peaks.

A cable car from Adliswil offers a quick ascent, or visitors can hike along marked paths from nearby Uetliberg station. Coming early on clear days helps you navigate the trails comfortably and enjoy the best views.

The Planetenweg from Uetliberg to Felsenegg scales the solar system at 1:1,000,000,000, each planet a metal sphere on or in a stone mound. Felsenegg sits at the midpoint of Pluto's elliptical orbit, and the Pluto mound lies about 20 m from the Restaurant Felsenegg.
