Furggbach (Zermatt)
verified
Ungraded
Unknown flood risk
Zermatt, VS
Bouldery canyon with some pools to jumps, anchors are not easy to find, sometimes you'll need to improvise.
At the start, the canyon has some waterfalls with deep pools which can be jumped. Towards the end there are more and more boulders, and anchors are often hard to reach (on top of the boulders) or you need to find some natural anchors. Nevertheless, overall it is a nice canyon.
