Photo Gallery Mountain High
The bridge on Mount Titlis in the Swiss Alps. To commemorate the 100th birthday of the Engelberg-Gerschnialp cableway, which began operating in January 1913, the cable car company has built what it says is Europe's highest suspension bridge.
At 3,000 meters (9,843 feet) above sea level, the vertigo-inducing footbridge is meant to help visitors "experience the height, vastness and majesty of the mountains," says cable car operator Titlis Rotair, which opened the attraction on Friday.
Here, a construction worker peers down at the view.
More construction workers put the finishing touches on the Titlis Cliff Walk in early December.
Those who dare to look down from the 100-meter-long bridge will have a panorama view down into the 500-meter abyss of the peak's south wall.
The bridge has been built so that it will only sway slightly as hikers pass over it -- but it will still be closed in bad weather.
