Mountaineering
On the Matterhorn Glacier Trail, a modern metal bridge crosses the Furggbach, which is fed by the meltwater of the Matterhorn Glacier. It replaced the former wooden bridge and allows for a safe crossing even with high meltwater levels. Below it, the milky-grey glacial water rushes down into the valley, framed by the mighty rock faces of the Matterhorn. The bridge is one of the striking waypoints of the Glacier Trail and impressively conveys the power of the high mountain landscape shaped by ice, water, and rock.
