Hey Guys, Are you ready to take a walk along with me? The walk is across the Trift bridge… The Trift Bridge is a spectacular pedestrian Bridge on the Alps near Gadmen in Switzerland. It is considered to be amongst the longest and the highest pedestrian suspension bridges in the Alps…

This bridge is located above the lake Triftsee, which was formed by the melting of surrounding trift glacier. Trift bridge is one of the adventurous locations in Switzerland. Reaching the bridge itself gives you a lot of adrenaline rush.
