Hiking
The Gornerschlucht is a unique natural beauty. Those who walk on the wooden walkways through the gorge immerse themselves deeply in the world of water power and rock faces.
The water of the Gornervispe has been eroding the gorge ever further since the last ice age. Tourist development already took place in 1886 and 1887. The rock, the greenish serpentinite, is about 220 million years old. A natural spectacle, reachable on foot in 15 minutes from the end of the village of Zermatt.

The small gorge is worth a detour! The entrance fee too. The paths are maintained and easy to walk, and you can admire the gorge from various perspectives.
Not accessible, but even if you only go a little way, as long as you can manage stairs, it's worth it.

From the cable car station, a hiking trail leads around the mountain and the view is indescribable. Mountain bikers also ride down from the top.
