The longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the Alps is almost 500 meters long and spans the Grabengufer from the Lärchberg to the Höüschbiel - at the highest point 85 m above the ground. Access is free and provides a thrill, as pedestrians walk on gratings through which they can see the valley floor.
When it was built in 2017, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world.

The Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge claims to be the longest pedestrian suspension bridge in the world. I don't know if that's still true, but the fact that the bridge spans the rockfall-prone Grabengufer gully makes the climb to the Europahütte or Domhütte much easier. A thrill is guaranteed, even if it's not as high above the ground as other suspension bridges...
