About the Experience
The Gorner Gorge Scenic Walk introduces you to a quieter, more intimate side of the alpine environment. Formed over thousands of years by meltwater from the Gorner Glacier, the gorge features narrow passages, smooth rock walls, and swirling streams that create a dramatic yet peaceful atmosphere.
As you follow the elevated wooden walkways, your guide explains how glacial forces and erosion shaped the landscape and how the gorge continues to evolve today. The cool air, filtered light, and sound of rushing water make this walk especially refreshing during warmer months.
The route is short and accessible, allowing you to fully enjoy the surroundings without physical strain. This experience is about slowing down and appreciating nature up close rather than covering distance.
