The Trift Bridge is one of the most impressive pedestrian suspension bridges in the Swiss Alps. Stretching 170 meters and suspended 100 meters above the Trift Gorge, it offers breathtaking views of glaciers, rocky cliffs, and alpine lakes. Originally built in 2004 and rebuilt in 2009, the bridge was created to restore access to the Trift Hut after the glacier below receded. Today, it attracts hikers from around the world seeking a mix of adrenaline and natural beauty. Reaching the bridge requires a cable car ride from Meiringen and a scenic alpine hike - a true highlight for adventurous travelers.
