Magical winters in the Gorner gorge

A frozen immersion at the heart of a spectacular setting

Found between Furi and Zermatt, the narrow Gorner Gorge via ferrata runs along one kilometre and includes three abseiling descents, ladders, Himalayan bridges and several ziplines. While most people visit in the summer months, the path is also accessible in the winter with a Zermattersguide — a thrilling activity that’s available for 155 CHF per person (for groups of 4-6 people). It’s a chance to see how winter trans- forms the gorge into a fairyland of ice cascades (which you can climb with crampons) and frozen stalactites.
