View of Massa Gorge

Highlight • Viewpoint

A rocky path leads you along the impressive Massa Gorge. Via steeper sections, you reach the suspension bridge – with a length of 124 meters and a height of around 80 meters, it is a real highlight of any tour.

Massa Suspension Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Originally, the path led over the glacier. However, as the moraine slopes have become unstable due to rising temperatures, this 124 meter long suspension bridge now spans the gorge.
