Skywalk Sattel, Pedestrian suspension bridge in Sattel, Switzerland
Description
Skywalk Sattel is a pedestrian suspension bridge that crosses the Laui Valley, connecting both sides through a steel structure held by cables. The walkway features a metal grid surface that allows visitors to see the gorge below as they move across.
History
The bridge opened in 2010 as Europe's longest pedestrian suspension bridge at the time. It was built to improve access across the valley and create new hiking routes in the region.
Culture
The Skywalk Sattel represents Swiss precision engineering and demonstrates the nation's commitment to integrating infrastructure with natural landscapes.
Practical
The crossing uses a rotating gondola system that accommodates wheelchairs and strollers for the one-way trip. The return journey is made on foot using the LOOP trail, which loops back through the surrounding landscape.
Did you know?
The metal walkway uses a grid structure instead of solid flooring, letting people look straight down to the gorge as they cross. This design creates an unexpected visual experience that many first-time visitors find striking.
