Uetliberg is the small mountain overlooking Zürich, reachable by a short train ride from the Zürich main station. During winter, they host "Winterzauber auf dem Uetliberg," with festive lights, food booths, mulled wine and activities like candle dipping and curling.
On weekends leading up to Christmas, they will also have Christmas market stands selling handcrafted items. They also have a popup chalet, where you can enjoy fondue or raclette in a cosy environment. If it snows enough, you can sled down the mountain after enjoying the market (sled rental onsite).
