Furggbach (Saas Almagell)

not verifiedpermit unconfirmed 2026-08-19 Ungraded Unknown flood risk Saas-Almagell, VS

A bouldery gneiss canyon with pools you can jump into, best run in autumn: 15 to 20 rappels, none longer than 30 feet.

Anchors are hard to find here, often perched on top of boulders or improvised from natural features, so bring a drill and bolts if you can. A water intake above the canyon can cut the flow on hot days.

Logistics

PermitRopeWiki's Red Tape section is empty and its infobox carries no Permits field, so access here is unverified rather than confirmed free. A water intake above the canyon can reduce flow on hot days.
