A very exciting moment to cross the suspension bridge during our walk from Bellwald to the remains of the glacier nearby the Grosses Wannenhorn. The walk itself was intense but certainly worth the views surrounding the bridge.
The bridge hangs about 90 to 100 metres above the valley and provides an exquisite view. Maybe not for the faint of heart but very safe to cross and also suited for children. Only i would not recommend to walk from Bellwald to the bridge with children.
The path from Bellwald to the bridge is challenging, sometimes technical with steep climbs or descents. For people with somewhat experience in walking or trekking it's a satisfying route to say the least. Lots of diversity in the type of terrain and 'obstacles' to overcome.
If you're really in for a climb, you can also take the alpine route close to the nearby Berghütte. This blue/white route descends into the remains of the glacier. A really impressive view from down there but be prepared for a steep path through a gorge with (loose) stones scattered on...

If you arrive early I think there will be less people. We had the bridge for ourselves for a good half hour.
Obviously if you are afraid of heights this place should be avoided, or it might cure you...
Read moreG Maps was showing 1h16min from Fieschertal bus stop, however, it took me over 4h as there was no reception and I continue through to the Aussicht near the KLETTERGARTEN 1573m and then to BURGHUTTE 1734m. Some part of the route contains SAURIER TRAIL good for entertaining kids with Dinosaur skeletons. Views along the way stunning (in the nice weather) with loads of sheep and waterfalls. From the bridge new route back to Fieschertal bus stop took me 1.5h even though the sign said 1h05min. This track is full of uphill and downhill so polls are recommended. Great option to...
