Trail description

From the Furi station, follow trail signs to "Hängebrücke," which is the suspension bridge. It takes about 20-30 mins to reach the bridge, mostly walking through a forest. See bridge location on Google maps.

On the other side of the bridge, there is a nice picnic area in the forest with a playground. Near the playground, there is a “glacier garden” showing some interesting rock formations that were created by the glacier long ago.

When you are done, hike back the way you came to Furi. You can optionally keep hiking down to Zermatt via the Gorner Gorge.
