Meeting point: Katholische Kirche Maria-Hilf https://goo.gl/maps/REvLMAdrpq76VYne7

Starting time: 18h00 precisely. Don't send me messages saying you're late, I'll ignore them. 

Weather: Sunny.

Route: Mostly in the woods, some steep parts, but nothing exposed. A good alternative to Uetliberg. There might be a few spontaneous changes compared to the shown route.

Pace / fitness level: Open to everyone, it's short.

Transportation: Everyone goes to the meeting point on their own (I'm coming by bike).

Schedule

 It takes 45 mn to 1 hour to go up, 30 mn to 45 mn to go down. Not more than 5 mn break at the top.

Gear

Hiking boots recommended but sneakers are okay. 

See here an exhaustive check list of gear for single day hikes, and here my recommendations regarding spikes.

Important rules about Hiking Buddies

• You have until 12 hours before the start of the event to drop out from the hike.
• Participants not showing up will get a "NO-SHOW" flag on their profile, which decreases significantly your chances to be accepted on future hikes.
• The organizer is no professional guide, participants must be responsible for themselves (and that means to do some research about the routes and its potential dangers / tricky sections to know if you have the experience for it).
• Not a rule, but on your profile, ideally, add a picture of you and select the country you're from (not the one you're living in), to show how international the group is. :)
