The world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge has opened in the Swiss alps, connecting the empty space between two towns with a crossing that measures 494 m long, and hovers 85m above the ravine.

It took Swiss work crews just 10 weeks to complete the bridge which now forms part of the Europaweg, known as one of the most scenic two-day hikes in the Alps for offering panoramic views of the Matterhorn – the most iconic Swiss mountain peak – along with Weisshorn and the Bernese Alps.
