Gornergrat - Findelbach

Gornergrat, Zermatt

The Gornergrat is a tourist magnet. The view of the Matterhorn is phenomenal, and the singletrail descent to Findelbach is a treat for mountain bikers.


Description

The ideal way to reach the Gornergrat is by cogwheel railroad - together with countless tourists who can't imagine that you can mountain bike up here. From the hectic viewing platform at the mountain station, you take a stony, steep but easily rideable trail to the first junction. Follow the ski slope, pass under the Gornergratbahn and after a few meters turn right onto a trail to the reservoir (Kelle). Follow this trail, which is technical at times but unique for good riders, to the Seewjinen mountain restaurant. Below the restaurant, the descent continues on a trail that leads quickly and smoothly to the bridge over the Findelbach stream. However, you stay on the same side of the stream and follow the technical trail with several very tricky sections. After the Findelbach station, the mountain bike signposts lead you back to Zermatt.

The Gornergratbahn will no longer transport mountain bikes from summer 2025. More information on this in the news report from Ride.

From summer 2020, the Gornergrat Bahn will transport mountain bikes from 4.00 pm. In the late afternoon, you can benefit from free access to the trails and ideally turn it into a sunset tour.
