It’s no secret that Zermatt is one of the best destinations in Switzerland for outdoor activities.  But there is one hidden gem in this city that is often overlooked by visitors – the Gorner Gorge (Gornerschlucht).

Gorner Gorge is open and accessible in the summer and early fall.

About Gorner Gorge

The Gorner Gorge is much different from other attractions in Zermatt. There is no train or a gondola to take you there, and no restaurants to grab drinks after. It is rustic compared to other activities in the region but that also makes it special (and cheaper to visit).
