From there it continues up to the Salbit hut and past the Salbitschijen bivouac SAC. Then you reach the highlight of the route, the Salbit bridge. From there, the path goes on to the destination, the Voralp hut. The Salbit suspension bridge, over 90 meters long, connects the two SAC huts Salbit and Voralp. The connecting path across the Salbit bridge requires alpine experience. Among other things, you must overcome a 45-meter-long iron ladder. The exposed sections are set up so you can secure yourself with a via ferrata set. A via ferrata set is strongly recommended. The bridge can be reached from the Salbit hut in about one hour and 15 minutes. The Salbit bridge was built modeled after the Nepalese suspension bridge. It offers a magnificent view of the glaciated dam chain and the Sustenhorn." language: "en" type: "SportsActivityLocation" image: "https://dam.destination.one/2771085/b8addbe130fa3c02c304068a4e343c1c8918555026ed6bf7f8169fbaf33b9d9e/.jpg" breadcrumb: "Root > Welcome to Lucerne > Special > Destination.Data Details > Tour" --- GPX Share Salbit bridge ============= - Tip - 12.34 km long - Difficulty: difficult - Condition: very difficult - Great panorama - Hike - 6:10 h - 12.34 km - 1,648 m - 628 m - 1,084 m - 2,540 m - 1,456 m - - Start: Göschenen train station - Destination: Voralp hut Above the Göscheneralp, the SAC huts Salbit and Voralp are connected by a path with a spectacular 90-meter-long suspension bridge.
