You’ll love this easy walk through the Rhine valley vineyards near Zürich, with mountain views and lots of places to lounge and picnic along the way. The trail meanders through old villages filled with wineries (some open for tastings) as well as forests, fields and paths though the vineyards.

You don't have to do the full trail to be able to enjoy the beautiful vineyards. Even the first 30 mins of the trail has many beautiful spots for photos, picnics and lounging.

We went in late November and the fall colors were still very pretty even though the grapevines were bare. This hike would be also be very nice during fall harvest season when the grape leaves turn colors. Also, this area is often sunny even when Zürich is stuck in the fog.

Full hike: easy • 3 h • 11 k • 160m up & down
