World’s longest suspension bridge in Switzerland accessible from the town of Randa near Zermatt, was opened on 29 July 2017.
The 494 meter footbridge forms part of the Europaweg walking trail, one of Switzerland’s most famous. The two-day hike links Grächen and Zermatt.
In 2010, the previous bridge was closed because of ground instability. Since then hikers have had to descend 500 meters into the valley before climbing back up even higher.
The new bridge hangs 200 meters lower than the old one. 65 cm wide its 53 mm cables weigh 8 tonnes.
