Peak Walk

The steel footbridge stretches 107 meters between View Point Peak and Scex Rouge, reaching an altitude of 2971 meters in the Swiss Alps.

The Peak Walk opened on October 25, 2014, introducing the first pedestrian bridge to connect two mountain summits in the Swiss canton of Vaud.

Swiss architect Mario Botta incorporated regional Alpine design elements into the bridge structure, reflecting the engineering precision of mountain infrastructure.

The walkway maintains a width of 0.8 meters throughout its span and remains open year-round, allowing visitors to cross between peaks without additional fees.

Four supporting steel cables with a 120-tonne capacity ensure stability against winds reaching speeds of 200 kilometers per hour at this elevation.
