Description
Triftbrücke is a spectacular suspension bridge in the Swiss Alps, suspended 100 meters above the turquoise waters of Lake Triftsee. Stretching 170 meters in length, it is one of the longest and highest pedestrian bridges in the Alps.
Built in 2004 and rebuilt in 2009, the bridge was designed after Nepalese rope structures. It is not only a marvel of engineering, but also offers breathtaking views of the Trift Glacier and the surrounding alpine landscape.
The hike to the bridge takes about 1.5-2 hours and is moderately difficult, but the satisfaction of crossing this impressive structure and enjoying the scenic views is well worth the effort.

Vilmis Sa year agoAmazing 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.
Kostiantyn Sebriuk11 months agoA 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
Matouš Vrchota12 months agoAwesome 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.Related categories
