Description
From Zermatt, you ride on Moosstrasse towards Furi. At the height of Schweigmatten, the gravel road branches off towards the Glacier Garden. Gradually, the road becomes steeper and you gain some intense altitude meters. Once at the Glacier Garden, it is worth taking a break. Those who want can continue to the Glacier Gate to admire the wild surroundings at the foot of the Gorner Glacier.
Then you return to Furi via the suspension bridge. It is recommended to push the bike while crossing the bridge. Via the Moos Trail, you finally return to Zermatt.
