Salbit Bridge, Pedestrian footbridge in Uri, Switzerland

The Salbit Bridge spans 90 meters across the Tobel of Stotzig Chäle, connecting two Swiss Alpine Club huts at an elevation of 122 meters above the valley.

Construction of the bridge was completed in 2010 by Esotec GmbH under Walter Brog's supervision, utilizing parts from the former Trift Bridge in Bern canton.

The bridge design incorporates engineering elements from Nepalese mountain bridges, adapting their construction methods to meet the demands of the Swiss Alpine environment.

Access to the bridge requires a 4-5 hour hike along T4-rated trails, with necessary climbing equipment available for rent at the Voralp and Salbit mountain huts.

The narrow footbridge measures 64 centimeters in width and provides access to numerous climbing routes near the granite towers of Salbitschijen mountain.
