Don't look down! World's 'scariest' and highest suspension bridge opens 1,500ft above a glacier in the Swiss Alps

The bridge is almost 10,000ft above sea level

The structure cost £1 million to build, is 330ft long and 3ft wide

At its official opening a snowstorm hid what lay beneath to visitors

The world's scariest bridge has been opened - a pedestrian walkway suspended 1,500ft above a glacier in the Swiss Alps.



Engineers have spent the past five months building the Titlis Cliff Walk, Europe's highest suspension bridge at 9,000ft above sea level.



The structure, which cost £1 million, is 330ft long but just 3ft wide and sits a vertigo-inducing 1,500ft above a glacier.

Up for the challenge? The scariest bridge in the world - a pedestrian walkway suspended 1,500ft above a glacier in the Swiss Alps

What a sight: Visitors to the suspension bridge admire the view, 1,500ft above a glacier



And on its grand opening a huge snow storm reduced visibility to just a few feet - leaving visitors with no idea of what lay beneath them.



The impressive bridge on Mount Titlis was built to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the opening of a cableway which joined the towns of Engelberg and Gerschnialp in January 1913.

Construction work was an extreme challenge for engineers, with working hours determined by the weather conditions.



Peter Reinle, from Titlis Cable Cars, said: 'Everyone was very impressed by the bridge.



'It opened in a real snow storm which made it an adventure for everyone who crossed it.'
