The Gorner Gorge is a unique natural beauty. Anyone who walks through the gorge on the wooden walkways will immerse themselves in the world of water power and rock faces.
The water of the Gornervispe has been washing away the gorge ever since the last ice age. It was opened up to tourists in 1886 and 1887. The rock, the greenish serpentinite, is around 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 entry as well. The paths are in good condition and easy to walk on and you can admire the gorge from various perspectives.
Not wheelchair accessible, but even if you walk a little bit, if 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.
