Gorge Adventure

Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge Click to enlarge

A dynamic Fixed Rope Route that will
both challenge and excite you!

The Gorner gorge between Furri (1865m) and Zermatt (1620m) is composed of imposing rock formations such as glacial mills and water polished rocks, within thundering floods of water - a unique wonder of nature!

The traverse of the Gorge is about 1 km long and takes approx. 3-4 hours. The dynamic Fixed Rope Route leads you across the polished rock with the use of steel cables and devices which are attached to the rock.

The highlights of the traverse are three abseiling passages, three flying foxes (of which the longest is 80 metres), a pendulum swing and a Himalayan bridge, which gives you the ultimate surge of adrenalin.

Throughout the entire adventure you are constantly secured, and you will not be in contact with the water.

The Gorge Adventure cannot be attempted on one's own; it can only be done with a fully qualified mountain guide who is familiar with the environment.
