Lägern is a beautiful ridge super close to Zürich. After a short train ride, we will hike to the main view point Hochwacht which offers an amazing panorama of the city of Zürich and the alpes. After a lunch break, we will split up into to groups to do the easy and the difficult version of the hike.

The difficult version of the hike will be over the ridge of Lägern. Make sure not to be scared of heights! It is IMPORTANT to bring proper hiking shoes (we cannot allow you to come in sneakers) and to have some experience hiking on difficults grounds.

The easy version will lead you along the side of the ridge, with not as great views, but easier terrain.

We will arrive to Baden, a super cute city with a castle. In Baden there is a small Christmas market, where you can buy Glühwein (and other drinks and food).

The hike is part of the official track 5 "Jura-Höhenweg", you can find a description here:

ESN will provide some snacks on the hike.

There is an easy and a difficult version of the hike. You can choose as we split the groups on the day. No matter which option you choose, please bring warm, waterproof clothing, as both hikes are long, and it will be cold. Please also bring at least 1l of water and enough snacks for the way.
