World's Scariest Bridges

"Built in 2004 to reconnect hikers to a hut cut off by a retreating glacier, this long pedestrian suspension bridge near the Trift Glacier still delivers an adrenaline rush despite a 2009 replacement that added higher handrails and stabilizing cables to reduce violent swinging." - Lyndsey Matthews Lyndsey Matthews Lyndsey Matthews is a writer and editor specializing in all things travel.

Are you brave enough to cross the world’s scariest bridges? - SilverKris

"A 100 m pedestrian bridge installed after the Trift Glacier retreated to restore access for hikers; rebuilt in 2009 with higher handrails and extra stabilizing cables to reduce excessive swinging, the crossing remains bumpy and unnerving but has become a major tourist attraction for its dramatic alpine views and photo opportunities." - SilverKris

The hike from the parking area to the bridge takes around 3 hours. Some reviews mention 1.5 hours, but those are likely from experienced hikers. If you’re not used to hiking, I highly recommend taking the cable train. The bridge itself is absolutely amazing!

A place of strength. Personally, for me, the main thing is the view of the lake and the glacier, not the bridge. For hiking enthusiasts, I recommend going up without a lift, there are two ways up, T2 and T3

Amazing view of valley all the way from the cable car to the bridge. And spectacular view of the bridge and lake, and what left from glacier. Sadly, but glacier almost gone. Directions says you need 1h30min to get to the bridge. For me it took ~55 minutes to reach the bridge. But I was taking a lot of pictures on the way there. The trail is about 3km long, but you need to climb ~350m up. So it depends on your fitness how long it takes.

I went out from parking and it took me about 2,5 hours to get this bridge. There is a possibility of taking cable car, but I didn’t use it. It’s definitely the biggest “hike” bridge I’ve ever been on. The combination with a lake and glaciers around is unbelievable magnificent. There are some another trail which can be walked up, but if you’re planning to go to Trifthütte, you have to change your plans. Because the trail is closed approximately until 2027. I will come back, it was one of the best view I’ve seen.

Amazing suspension bridge You can hike from the parking lot or take the gondola - Gondola definitely book in advance not many places are available - Hike from gondola is still a smoderate 1.5h hiking train!

I loved this place! If you decide to go in little rain, there are several people on the track, and the view is amazing with the mist and clouds stucked on the mountain. I enjoyed nearness to sheeps (watch carefully where you step! ;D). The bridge itself is quite long. During a walk, you feel every step of other people - it's not stiff. Actually, it's a good spot to experience with your body different effects of phenomenom of wave interference (physics in real life). The track itself is not super easy, I wouldn't advise it for kids or people who don't exercise at all. Sometimes, there are big steps to take or secure yourself with hands, you have to cross a small waterfall, etc.

This hike is starting with steep elevation. Requires good fitness or walk slowly catching your breath. For morst fit people you can make an additional round by the bridge there you got to hold on the chains. Only in good weather conditions.

Amazing hike from cable car, it’s still 1.5 h rather steep from cable car. Totally worth it
