Today you'll cross the Charles Kuonen suspension bridge. At 494m long, it's the longest hanging suspension bridge in the Alps! You’ll then continue to hike along the Europaweg trail up to Taschealpen, a remote mountain restaurant and refuge at 2200m of altitude, surrounded by glaciers and mountain peaks.
On this day there is an optional excursion of another 500m climb and 3km to a remote mountain hut, Taschehutten, with views of the highest mountain in Switzerland (and great tart).
The really brave will also take a dip in a glacial stream before we enjoy wine and home-cooked food and fall asleep with the sound of cowbells in the distance.
