The elaborate metal suspension bridge appears to be modeled after the Piccard Bridge in the Gurgler Ferner glacier. In fact, it is "merely" a feeder connection between two agricultural areas on either side of the Gurgler Ache stream. It connects an inconspicuous path, which leads across a pasture below Obergurgl and is not even marked as a hiking trail, with an unpaved farm track on the other side of the river.

The bridge is now also popular for a circular hike from Obergurgl. If you want to include the Ramolhaus, an overnight stay there or at Langtalereck is recommended; the Hochwildehaus has been closed for several years due to earth movements

The bridge was built in 2017 because the retreat of the Gurgler Ferner made it increasingly difficult for hikers to cross the valley, and thus a connection could be secured between the Ramolhaus on the west side and the Langtalereckhütte and the Hochwildehaus on the east side. It was named because in 1931 - when the glacier was even larger - Auguste Piccard had to make an emergency landing here with a balloon.

The Piccard Bridge is a suspension bridge in the Ötztal Alps. It is located in the rear Gurgler Valley in the Austrian state of Tyrol at an altitude of 2480 m above sea level and is 142 meters long.

The Gurgler Ache is a popular body of water for whitewater paddlers, the difficulty level is WW IV-V.[6] The TIWAG plans to dam the Ache for the expansion of the Gepatsch reservoir and to divert the water.
