Trift Bridge – a spectacular footbridge
The Trift Bridge is one of the most spectacular pedestrian suspension bridges in the Alps. At 100m high and 170m long, it is poised above the region of the Trift Glacier, with spectacular views guaranteed for those with a head for heights.
At 374 metres, the Skywalk is one of Europe’s longest pedestrian suspension bridges, 58 metres above the Lauitobel Gorge. To avoid crossing the bridge again when returning, you can take the path (signposted “der Pfad”) towards Herrenboden, which focuses on the forces of nature.
