World's 🌎 longest pedestrian suspension bridge, in Switzerland🇨🇭

Spanning 1,621 feet and rising as high as 279 feet, the newly opened Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge 🌉 in Switzerland 🇨🇭 has broken the record 📖 for the world's 🌎 longest pedestrian suspension bridge 🌉, according to Zermatt Tourism.

The bridge 🌉, which replaced an older one that was damaged by falling rocks, was named after its chief sponsor, a psychologist and co-owner of a Swiss winery.

According to Edith Zweifel, a spokesperson for the travel ✈️ board, it cuts the journey across the valley from three to four hours to a mere 10 minutes‼️

While the bridge's 🌉 height has removed the risk of rock fall, more height-averse hikers may want to plan ahead before making the trek.

"People who have problems with a fear of heights, they have to close their eyes, or have someone to walk just behind," Zweifel said.
