Admittedly, what would be called a really high mountain in some regions is only a hill here in Switzerland.
Like the Zugerberg. With its 'cute' 1039 meters above sea level.
For a beginner, it's good training. Starting with the right route between lush green meadows and then powering up a fairly steep gravel path. Then there's the first opportunity to enjoy the view of Lake Zug and the city of Zug.
Continuing along the slope, with a view of the Rigi (left) and the Pilatus - the local mountain of Lucerne.
