Offering extraordinary views on the Alps, the80 cm-wide bridge spans 107 m and can withstand winds of up to 200km/hr. 

It is the second-highest suspension bridge in the world after Titlis Cliff Walk, which is located in Obwalden. From the View Point all the highest surrounding peaks are visible – the Matterhorn, Eiger, Mönch, Jungfrau, and even Mont Blanc. 

The bridge is expected to double the number of annual visitors to 50,000. While the bridge had a cost of CHF 1.8 m, this increase should mean better viability of the Glacier 3000 area.

Glacier 3000 is owned by Gstaad real estate mogul Marcel Bach and two well-known investors in the Saanenland, Jean-Claude Mimran (co-owner of The Alpina Gstaad) and Bernie Ecclestone (owner of the Hotel Olden). The team took over in 2005 with the aim of investing to improve the value and quality of services of the ski area.

The bridge holds up to 300 visitors, yet crowds will be limited to 150 for comfort purposes. Entrance is free with purchase of a Glacier 3000 day card or lift ticket.
