Zurich Running Routes? Recommendations Needed
Quote | Reply
I'll be in Zurich for business this weekend and Monday and would like to get in a run or two. Any recommendations on a good place to run? I'll be staying at the Park Hyatt. Thanks in advance!

Flat would be along the lake to either side or along the Sihl or Limmat river.
If you want to run hilly, just head up Zurichberg (northeast from the hotel).
Great place to run. Just run, anywhere!

You're just a couple hundred meters from the lake which is nice. Also, across from the SihlCity shopping center is a big sports field/center "Saalsporthalle" which is a nice trail start...you can follow a small river or take a right hand turn and go uphill into the Uetliberg forest network. You can go for hours in any direction... From maps.google.ch, query "Zurich Saalsporthalle" to get the starting point. Yellow "Wanderweg" (trail) signs are everywhere. Just follow one.

If you want to get out of the city area, Greifensee lake is 20min by train and it's a 17km loop around. Also nice to run there up and over the forest from Zurich then take the train home.
If you want to really get out of town, about 1hr away is a stunning 22km run here: http://www.scottherrick.com/gallery.php?id=281

I'll do some kind of run on Saturday and Monday. PM me if you want to join and I can show you around.

You should see a load of people out running on Saturday as it's the Sola run - a 117km relay race around Zurich (14people/team). I'll be doing it with people from work.
