Description

From Zermatt, you head up towards Furi on Moosstrasse. When you reach Schweigmatten, the path branches off to the Glacier Garden (Gletschergarten). The path gradually becomes steeper and there a few tough metres of ascent. Once you arrive at the Glacier Garden, it’s worth stopping for a rest. If you still have some power you continue pedalling to the ‘Gletschertor’ and admiring the wild landscape at the spur of the Gorner Glacier.

The route then continues over the suspension bridge back to Furi. From there, you ride the Moos-Trail back to Zermatt.

  • This route can also be ridden on an E-Bike
