Great place to spend an hour and explore with the family. The gorge is situated 15 minutes from Zermatt town centre, is fairly cheap and is well signposted. Prepare for unsteady ground however, as the path up to the gorge can be steep and uneven, but if you're used to hiking this shouldn't be a problem.

The gorge can be entered from two sides, although most people coming from the town centre will come from the south side.

To enter the gorge, pay at the reception hut either at the beginning of your walk or at the end (depending on which way you enter). You can pay in either francs or euros.

The gorge itself has several connecting walkways for onlookers to walk along and see the natural features from a safe distance. These walkways are well maintained and very safe, although at times the steps can be steep and passing points may occasionally be narrow. Despite this they are easy to get around and most people should be able to make the journey.

The views are beautiful and if you go at the right time of year the water will be a beautiful turquoise colour. Also, when the sun is shining the spray from the waterfalls can often create an interesting rainbow effect.

At the end of the walkway there are a few small benches where a couple or small group could potentially enjoy a little picnic.

Lastly, if one enters from the town they have the option to either continue around from the gorge for a short hike back to the town. The other alternative is to walk back along the walkways and return the way you came.
