Hikers walk over the newly opened Trift bridge over the Trift Lake and near the Trift Glacier, visible in the background to the left, near Gadmen, central Switzerland, Friday. The suspension bridge is 558 feet long and 328 feet above the lake. The bridge, in the canton of Bern, is the longest suspension bridge for pedestrians in the Alps. Hiking is a popular pastime in the mountainous European country.
