The Albisgüetli is a shooting range in the Friesenberg district in Zurich - Wiedikon . It lies at the foot of the Uetliberg , which is part of the Albiskette , from which the name is derived.

The associated historic rifle house was planned by the architect Richard Kuder in the 19th century. The Schützenhaus is known for numerous events and for the annual conference of the Swiss People's Party .

The annual Zürcher Volksfest Knabenschiessen takes place in September on the Albisgüetli. In addition to a shooting competition between the Zurich youth, this includes the largest “Chilbi” in Zurich.
