The Zügen Gorge in Davos remains closed for longer

The risk of rockfall in the Zügen Gorge near Davos caused by storm damage requires further safety measures. The gorge path between Schmelzboden and Wiesen Station or Jenisberg will therefore remain closed until at least the beginning of summer 2024.

After a thunderstorm with squalls in mid-July 2023, the path through the Zügen Gorge near Davos had to be closed. The clearing work carried out has now shown that the ground lacks stabilizing trees and that there is still a risk of landslides and rockfalls. Extensive safety measures will be carried out in spring 2024 so that the path can then be reopened.

The Alps Epic Trail and the Zügenschlucht, two tours in the Ride database, are affected by the closure. It is possible to bypass the affected section via the access road to Jenisberg.The Zügenschlucht in the Ride Trail Map: map.ride.ch
