Switzerland just opened the world’s longest pedestrian bridge in the town of Randa. Suspended across a valley between Grächen and Zermatt, this bridge is 494 metres long, beating the previous ‘world’s longest bridge’ title holder from the Hunan province of China, which was 430 metres long and suspended 300 metres above the China’s Zhangjiajie Canyon, with a glass bottom base. Switzerland’s Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge is suspended 86 metres above the ground at its highest point, and provides breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, including the famed Matterhorn range along with the Weisshorn and the Bernese Alps. The bridge has done a remarkable job of reducing travel time to 10 minutes from four hours, across the valley.
