Description
From Zermatt, you head up towards Furi on Moosstrasse. When you reach Schweigmatten, the path branches off to the Glacier Garden. The road gradually becomes steeper and covers a few intensive metres of climbs. Once you reach the top of the Glacier Garden, it's well worth stopping for a break. There’s then the option to continue to the ‘Gletschertor’ to marvel at the wild surroundings at the foothills of the Gorner Glacier.
The route then continues over the suspension bridge back to Furi. Cyclists are recommended to push bikes as they cross the bridge. The route finally returns to Zermatt via the Moos Trail.
