Niouc, Suspension bridge and hiking trail at Niouc, Switzerland.
Description
The Niouc footbridge is a suspension structure in Anniviers that carries visitors across a valley and serves as a junction point for several regional trails. Its metal framework connects two sides of the terrain and allows people to continue into different hiking directions.
History
The structure was built in the 1920s as part of a water pipeline project to move water across the valley. Over time it became a pedestrian crossing that opened up the surrounding terrain to hikers.
Culture
The structure earned the name 'Spider's Bridge' due to its intricate network of metal cables that form a specific pattern across the span.
Practical
The bridge is reached by walking on established trails from nearby villages and is accessible year-round depending on weather. Once there, hikers can choose from multiple directions to continue their walk.
