The world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge has opened in Switzerland. The Charles Kuonen suspension bridge is the connector between two sections of the Europaweg two-day hiking trail from Grächen to Zermatt and extends up to 300 feet at its highest point.
The impressive structure was built in just 10 weeks by SWISSROPE. While the bridge spans 1,621 feet long, it’s only about two feet wide, requiring adventurers to walk it single-file only.
Although the trail is definitely not for the faint of heart, it offers a wild adventure and some of the best views of the Swiss Alps you'll ever see --- so be sure to check it out if you're in the area!
