| Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge, the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world and top of the list for thrill seekers exploring the area on foot. It stretches 494 metres (1,621 feet) across the Zermatt Valley, and intrepid hikers are rewarded with unparalleled bird’s-eye views of the surrounding scenery. Cutting the journey time across the valley by four hours, the bridge takes a mere 10 minutes to traverse, but is certainly no walk in the park. |
Just three tourneys this week with the men in Switzerland and Austria and the ladies compete in China for the WTA Elite Trophy.
