Not all hiking trails are in the mountains, in fact, these types of adventures are closer than you think!
Did you know that you can go hiking directly out the front door of your hotel / airbnb, visit the city while getting your dose of daily steps and have a lot of fun in just a couple of hours? Lace up your hiking shoes, strap on your backpack, come with me and let's explore Zurich on foot. Zurich Urban Hikes offers guided city hikes by knowledgeable locals who can provide insights into the city's history, culture, and architecture, making it a truly immersive experience... minus all the boring parts. The tours' focus is on covering the distance, climbing up stairs, raising the heart beat and making the muscles work, while the guide sprinkles in the commentary along the way.

MY STORY
I'm GIADA,
Come join me for an unforgettable adventure through Zurich - a hike unlike anything you’ve experienced in a city. Lace up your shoes and get ready for stairs, tunnels, hills, and countless steps as we turn the city itself into our trail.
I’m Giada. Walking has always been my way of exploring the world, and hiking in the mountains is my happy place. As a tour guide, yoga teacher, and travel planner, I’ve long dreamed of blending “travel” with “active.” For a while, I thought it had all been done—until one day I realized: sightseeing could be reimagined. What if exploring a city became a real workout? Less talk, more walk.
That’s how Urban Hiking was born.
Think of it as a proper hike—stairs to climb, hidden paths to discover, sweeping views to enjoy—only this trail winds through Zurich’s quaint streets and secret corners.
I can’t wait to share this adventure with you. Let’s explore Zurich together, step by step.
