If the weather ruins your skiing or hiking plans or if you’re looking to get away from the skiing crowds, consider the Gorge Alpine. It is the most spectacular way of getting from Saas-Fee to Saas-Grund. The well-constructed via ferrata (fixed rope route) leads through a canyon deeply covered in snow and past bizarre ice sculptures and frozen waterfalls. Steel ropes, ladders and hanging bridges facilitate the climb.

You may experience some slight tingling during the highlights, like when you’re abseiling on the freeswinging Nepali bridge. You’ll be rewarded with unforgettable impressions. All participants are fitted with a helmet, climbing belt, and a fixed rope climbing harness for securing yourself to the steel ropes. The Gorge Alpine is the event for groups, clubs and families.
