With an altitude of 3,041 m, a cliff that's 500 m deep, and a heart-thumping 150 steps long, it is considered to be the most terrifying bridge in the world, which definitely makes it worth challenging. Follow the sign at the cable station at the summit of Mount Titlis. You can find the suspension bridge connecting the observation terrace at the south of the cable station and the glacier ferry. From here you will see a rock climbing cable bridge that's 100 m long and 1 m wide. Standing on the cable bridge, the unique perspective of facing the abyss is incredibly thrilling!
