Dangling nearly 300 feet (85 meters) in the air, the Europabrücke, or “Europe bridge” is a new addition to the hiker’s trail linking the towns of Zermatt and Grächen in the Swiss Alps. At a half-kilometer-long (about one-third of a mile) the suspension footbridge is being touted by the local tourism board as the longest in the world.
