The Uetliberg (also known as Üetliberg) is a mountain in the Swiss plateau, part of the Albis chain, rising to 870 m (2,850 ft). The mountain offers a panoramic view of the entire city of Zürich (to the northeast of its summit), Zürichberg and Lake Zurich (both to the east), and lies on the boundary between the city of Zurich and the municipalities of Stallikon and Uitikon in the canton of Zurich. The summit, known as Uto Kulm, is in Stallikon. Uetliberg is the Hausberg of Zurich.
At the summit, there is the Hotel Uto Kulm, together with two towers. One of these is a look-out tower (access costs CHF 2, rebuilt 1990), whilst the other is the 186 m (610 ft) tall Uetliberg TV-tower (rebuilt 1990).
