    About 25min walk from Zermatt Station. It's a great place to visit. A few steps to take so please do take note of it. As its a gorge it will get quite chilly so do layer up as needed. The gorge wall itself it's great and ends with a pretty waterfall in all its glory. After that you can continue your hike to Furi to take the matterhorn glacier paradise cable car and this will take another hour or so depending on your speed, its an uphill climb so again be prepared!

    This is a dope little hike. Easy enough for beginners and has some pretty stunning views of the canyon and River you might not otherwise see. Overall, it’s shorter than I expected, but still worth checking out.

    Found this little beauty last minute! Entrance fee for adults is 5.5 CHF or £4.50 English, which let’s face it is super cheap for Switzerland. Cash/card is accepted at the entrance. Some incline is to be expected with plenty of stairs to climb. At the end of the trail, you can choose to take a short hike back to town or exit the same way you came in from (go back) It is a beautiful gorge with fast flowing water!There’s some power there! Enjoy.

    Entrance fee for adults in 2023 is 5.5 CHF. Cash/card is accepted at the entrance. Some incline is to be expected with plenty of stairs to climb. At the end of the trail, you can choose to take a short hike back to town or exit the same way you came in from.

    Very hot trekking up hill in the summer to get to the gorge (may have been a better idea to walk up through the gorge because it was cooler and then down via the suspension bridge doing the circular walk but we did it the other way around) but well worth the effort and it's nice and cool whilst your walking amongst the gorge.

    Loved this place! Great little hike in Zermatt, about 15 min from the town. Entrance fee is CHF 5.50 per person, you could either take a quick 20 min walk to see the gorge or continue on a series of stairs (about 3 floors) for a gorgeous walk back to Zermatt town for about 40 min. We did the latter and it was just the perfect little hike!

    Great hour or so walk from Zermatt. Head up towards the Matterhorn and as you leave the top of town follow the signs. 5 francs each. Take your time to take in the sights and sounds.

    Simple and short little walk at the Gorner Gorge. The view was good. CHF 5 for the entrance fee. If you start at the entrance of Gorner Gorge, the hike will be upwards. However, you could also start at the exit, and it would be downslope most of the time.

    Had a beautiful walk through here, ticket price 5CHF per person

    It was eh. We visited Lichtensteinklamm in Austria several weeks ago and it was incredible. This was a few minutes after a lot of uphill, up stairs work and honestly, it just wasn’t that impressive. It has a rundown feel. It certainly didn’t feel Swiss. If it had been free….. maybe. If there had been some kind of facilities there or even near…. We were kicking ourselves for spending the 10 bucks. We wouldn’t recommend it over other experiences. Or actually, recommend it at all.

    Nice place to visit to get close to the glacier river. Well maintained path, mostly made of wood, blends perfectly with the scenery. Well worth the 5.5CHF entrance fee.

    This is an attraction not to be missed!!! We hiked a beautiful trail instead of going through the main entrance. We got there through the “back door”, and there’s a lot of stairs to go down. The path follows the river and, although people can cheat and go back the same way avoiding the main gate, we exit through the main gate and paid the fee (CHF 5.50) that is a bargain when you consider how beautiful this place is. After exiting through the entrance gate, we walked a few minutes and crossed a bridge on our left. We then hiked up up up and up with gorgeous views of the Matterhorn. We had lunch at an amazing stube before continuing our hiking all the way to Furi Bahn. This is a great way to spend a day in gorgeous Zermatt!

    Aside from lots of stair climbing, the end result was absolutely breathtaking. You will not be sorry I guarantee it!

    Definitely not as amazing as the Aare Gorge but still quite a nice trail to walk and admire mother nature. You'll get to see the tip of the Matterhorn too! Be prepared for quite a few flights of stairs (overall an easy hike)

    Only accessible in the summer, Gorner Gorge is a interesting attraction that takes you close to the cliffs of Zermatt's little canyon with the sound of rapid river beneath your feet. The experience is quite breathtaking and serene as you walk on the wooden platform and admire the rushing water, drowning out all surrounding noise. It is a must visit during the summer. The Gorner Gorge is can be reached via a hike up from Zermatt or down from Furi (via Restaurant Blatten), but make sure do keep an eye out for the sign. It is highly recommended to incorporate the place as part of your hiking trail, or it would be quite a wasted trip as the place brings you across the river instead of making a loop. There is also a cover charge of CHF 5 per person, so take note.

    We came in from the topside, with good indications to find it. What a surprise when we come out the end to find out we have to pay 5.50 per person... The owner didn't care, he showed a photo of a tiny board explaining in German you have to pay. Gorges are ok, nothing exceptional, you remain quite far from the water.

    We visited here on a weekday around mid-August, and apart from us, there was maybe one other person. This allowed us to admire the breathtaking views in this awe-inspiring gorge. At the entrance, a very kind gentleman and lady explained everything to us, and after paying the reasonably priced tickets, we embarked on a lovely walk that took about 20 minutes. It led us further up and allowed for a return to the town in a loop via a different route, exiting near the Fun Park. On hot days, this place is perfect for cooling down and marveling at the multi-million-year-old gorges and shapes carved by rushing water in the rocks. The structures we walked on are safe and offer different perspectives of the gorge. If you're in Zermatt, you must definitely visit this place.

    Close to zermatt central and worth the price of admission. It just keeps getting better as you traverse the boardwalk. Accessible hike with stunning views.

  • 5/5 Robert H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great mini hike. Near downtown Zermatt. Except for the multiple steps on the far side, this is an easy to moderate level hike. Great views of the gorge and a great place to cool down
