The station is located on the Lake Zurich left bank (Zurich to Chur) main line and the Thalwil–Arth-Goldau railway, part of the Zurich to Lucerne line. To the Zurich side of the station, the Zimmerberg Base Tunnel diverges from the original lakeside line, whilst on the Lucerne side is the junction point where the Zurich to Chur and Zurich to Lucerne lines diverge. Thus all trains on both lines must pass through the station.The station is served on the lakeside line by an hourly long-distance RegioExpress service between Zürich and Chur. InterRegio services between Lucerne and Konstanz also operate hourly. The station is also served by trains on lines S2, S8, and S24 of the Zürich S-Bahn.

Sihlwald is a railway station in the Sihl Valley, and the municipality of Horgen, in the Swiss Canton of Zürich. The station is on the Sihltal line, which is operated by the Sihltal Zürich Uetliberg Bahn (SZU). The station takes its name from the surrounding Sihlwald forest and nature reserve, whose visitor centre is adjacent to the station.Sihlwald was the original terminus of the Sihtal line, which was opened from Bahnhof Selnau in Zürich in 1892. In 1897 the Sihltal line was extended to Sihlbrugg station and a connection with the Zürich to Lucerne line of the Swiss Northeastern Railway (NOB). The station retains a locomotive shed dating from the time of that extension that is used by the heritage railway association Zürcher Museums-Bahn. Today, the station is the formal terminus of service S4 of the Zürich S-Bahn, although the situation within a protected forest and with few other traffic generators nearby means that most S4 trains terminate at Langnau-Gattikon, one stop nearer Zürich, leaving this station to be served by one train an hour. The stretch of railway beyond Sihlwald to Sihlbrugg still exists, but no longer carries a regular passenger train service. The station is served by the following passenger trains:

Albis Pass (el. 793 m or 2,602 ft) is a mountain pass in the Albis range in the canton of Zurich in Switzerland. It connects Langnau am Albis with the small village of Türlen on the Türlersee and, further on, Aeugst am Albis, Hausen am Albis, Mettmenstetten and Rifferswil. Other nearby passes across the same chain are Buechenegg to the north, and Schnabellücken, which is undeveloped except for a hiking trail, to the south. The eastern ramp and crest of the pass is in the municipality of Langnau, with the western ramp in Hausen.The pass is first mentioned in 1492, when the Zurich Council made a decision on road maintenance. In past times it was regarded as an important route between Zurich and central Switzerland. In 1713, Zurich military authorities are recorded as regarding transport over the Albis Pass as being simpler and cheaper than going via Birmensdorf or Horgen. However the construction of the railway from Thalwil to Zug and later roads rendered the pass less important.The road over the Albis pass is served hourly during daylight hours by a bus connecting Hausen am Albis to the train station in Thalwil. A walking trail to the north follows the ridge-line of the Albis range and leads to Buechenegg, Felsenegg and Uetliberg.
