ビスプの峡谷・トップ8

A really great, varied section with bridges, tunnels and a waterfall.

A suspension bridge over a gorge is always something special. This one is 100 meters long and hangs at a height of 90 meters. I'm not afraid of heights myself, so I was glad to be alone on the rather wobbly bridge.

It is one of the many highlights in Zermatt: the Furi suspension bridge over the Gorner Gorge. Built in 2011, the bridge is 100 meters long and 90 meters high in the middle of the fantastically beautiful mountains. You can use the bridge with your bike, but watch out for other people who might be coming towards you.

With enough power in your legs, you can ride up to the glacier gate at 2,100 meters and get ready for the upcoming descent in the wild surroundings. Of course, you can also park your bike at the turning point further down, where the gravel path ends, and walk up the last few meters - it's worth it! The Gornera, which springs from the Gorner glacier further up, flows through the narrow opening in the rock called the glacier gate.

Short but impressive gorge

Impressive natural spectacle at the Gornera glacier gate. We parked the bike and walked the last few meters.

You can walk through this gorge all year round with a guide. You don't have to go through the whole gorge. There are also options for getting in and out and then you can return to Saas-Fee via the Chapel Trail.

The Furi suspension bridge trail leads over the impressive Gorner Gorge suspension bridge and offers barbecue areas and a playground along the way.
