Suspension bridge over the Aletsch glacier

124 metres of glacier thrills

Where once mountaineers trekked the glacier terrain, now a 124-metre long suspension bridge connects the Belalp and Riederalp.

The old trekking trail was renovated, and the time to cross the glacier reduced from eight to five hours.
