The Gorner gorge is a place of exceptional natural beauty. The wooden walkways leading between the towering cliffs provide a dramatic insight into the power of nature.
The Gorner gorge offers a thrilling adventure for the whole family. Since the last ice age, the waters of the Gornervispe have carved an ever deeper chasm. Access for tourists was created back in 1886 and 1887. The rock, greenish serpentinite, is about 220 million years old. This natural spectacle is a 15-minute walk from the southern end of the village of Zermatt.
Tip
- Trip through the upper stretches of the gorge - Gorge adventure (with mountain guide, bookable offer)
- a visit to the gorge from about mid-October, between 3pm and 4pm, is especially impressive: in the special light conditions, the water takes on a brilliant turquoise color
