Not that we weren't already enamoured of this breath-taking destination, but Switzerland has given you another reason to set foot on its land.
According to Zermatt Tourism, the newly opened Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge in Switzerland, has now been recorded as the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge.
The bridge was inaugurated on July 29. Rising as high as 279 ft and spanning 1621 ft, the new bridge has been constructed along the valley between the towns of Zermatt and Grachen. It offers hikers views of the Matterhorn, Weisshorn and Bernese Alps.
The suspension bridge has replaced an older one that was gradually being damaged by falling rocks, reported CNN.
The new bridge will also cut down the duration of journey across the valley from three to four hours to just 10 minutes, as claimed by Edith Zweifel, a spokesperson of the travel board.
However, the bridge is not recommended for those who are afraid of heights or experience vertigo easily.
