Spectacular New Bridge for Bad Gastein

Bad Gastein is currently building a spectacular 140m long 'hanging bridge' from the summit station of the Stubnerkogel lift to the Sender.

At the northern end of the bridge a footbridge leads from the existing hiking trail to the hanging bridge, which is anchored to the solid rock. At the southern end of the bridge there will be a connection to the terrace of the existing summit restaurant.

The floor covering grid and the rails of the bridge will be made of transparent mesh that is aesthetically designed to give a ?light' construction. The design does not interfere with the terrain and allows those on foot to experience the altitude difference first hand.

The new hanging bridge will open at the start of next season in December.
