3 days tour of Zermatt area, Switzerland

Day 2

Charles Kuonen Suspension bridge





It is the photo of this world longest suspension bridge Charles Kuonen on a travel magazine that caught my eyes. 500m long, deep in the forest, without any road access, it is really very unusual. Then found that it is very close to Zermatt and great to make a short trip to visit that area for an active holiday.

Take train to Randa, second stop from Zermatt, follow direction to go to Charles Kuonen Suspension bridge. The up hill walk is hard, nearly 2 hours zigzaging up the steep hill to get there.


trail up to Charles Kuonen Suspension bridge

Randa is at around 2000m altitude, the hike up is strenuous, it is advisable to acclimatize the day before at Zermatt high mountains. Bring walking stick and do not attempt when the trail is wet.

The bridge is rigid to walk on, do not swing much, with views of snow topped mountains and glaciers around.
