Photographs of the world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge, the Charles Koening Suspension Bridge, in Randa, Switzerland. This bridge, named the Europabrücke (Europe Bridge), hangs up to 85m above the Grabengufer ravine. The bridge is situated on the Europaweg, a high-altitude hiking trail, that connects the villages of Zermatt and Graechen, Switzerland. The suspension bridge hangs 85 metres above the Grabengufer ravine, which sits at the foot of one of the the highest mountains in Switzerland, the Dom (4545 metres). It took Swiss work crews just 10 weeks to complete the bridge which now forms part of the Europaweg, known as one of the most scenic two-day hikes in the Alps for offering panoramic views of the Matterhorn -- the most iconic Swiss mountain peak -- along with Weisshorn and the Bernese Alps. The trail runs between 1, 600 m and 2, 200 m above sea level. Hikers who set off from Grachen will have the Matterhorn looming ahead of them, while those hiking towards Grachen will be in view of the Bernese Alps.
