A Refreshing Stroll Through Zermatt’s Gorner Schlucht

Upon arriving in Zermatt, we embarked on a brief yet invigorating stroll through the Gorner Gorge. This picturesque locale holds a special place in our hearts, having been a cherished destination for years during visits with my Japanese family. Despite our frequent returns, the dramatic landscape and raw beauty of the gorge continue to captivate us. The thundering waters and towering cliffs never fail to leave us in awe.

On our way back, we stopped at the charming Blatten restaurant, a delightful little hideaway nestled in the mountains. There, we indulged in a slice of delicious apricot cake and a pot of hot tea—a perfect reward after our walk. As we lingered, we found ourselves in a captivating conversation with the restaurant’s owner, who offered thoughtful insights into the rhythms of tourism in Zermatt. His stories gave us a deeper appreciation for how this picturesque town has transformed over the years.
