Peak Walk is a pedestrian suspension bridge linking two mountain peaks in the Swiss Alps. It is situated in the Diablerets massif of the Bernese Alps in the canton of Vaud and connects the peak of Scex Rouge with another peak. On the other peak is the viewpoint of the Glacier 3000 company.
Scex Rouge is about 5 m (16 ft) higher than Glacier 3000's viewpoint. Peak Walk is the world's first suspension bridge which connects two mountain peaks.
The bridge, which has been built by the firm Seiler AG (Steel and metal constructions) in Bönigen, is 107 m (351 ft) long, 0.8 m (2.6 ft) wide and 1.2 m (3.9 ft) high with a 15% slope. The designers took the extreme conditions into account, with winds of about 200 km/h (120 mph).
Mountains that can be seen from the bridge include Mont Blanc (the Alps' highest point), the Matterhorn, Mönch, Jungfrau and Eiger.
