Zügen Gorge

The Zügen Gorge extends through limestone formations, reaching an elevation of 1,391 meters with vertical walls that display layers of rock strata.

The canyon emerged during the last ice age when powerful glaciers carved through the mountain range, creating deep valleys and exposed rock faces.

Local Swiss communities maintain hiking trails throughout the gorge, preserving natural pathways that connect different sections of the Grisons region.

Visitors can access the gorge through marked trails from Davos, with information centers providing maps and safety guidelines for different seasons.

The gorge contains multiple underground water channels that create natural fountains during spring, when melting snow seeps through limestone crevices.
