Triftbrücke

The Triftbrücke bridge is a fantastic spot, and basically the endpoint of the route as the path to the hut is closed. The far end of the bridge in fact was roped off. Beautiful glacial lake, a glacier that’s sadly receding. I had the thought of hiking down but for those trying to hike up from the base station be warned that there are many parts with exposed drops and may be quite dangerous

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!

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

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.

Awesome hike with a very beautiful finish line. The bridge under the glacier is really stunning. You can start your ascend from the bottom of the lift or you can ride up and walk only 1,5 kilometres. The ascend is pretty steep, I'd recommend the trip for a bit more advanced people. One way ride costs 13 CHF for an adult.

It was a tough hike but well worth the effort. The views from the bridge and all the way along the hike were breathtaking. The ascent to the bridge is difficult because there are a lot of thin paths and you often need to clamber over rocks but you just have to pay attention to where you put your feet and know that you will be rewarded at the end with unparalleled views.
