The "Piccard Bridge" in Obergurgl, Austria

The new bridge in the rearmost Ötztal is not a touristic attraction, it is a simple necessity as the existing route over the glacier had become more and more dangerous and complicated to walk. The new bridge with a span of 137.20 m stays at a height of around 82 m over the glacier stream of the Gurgler Ferner. Since its construction in spring 2017, the bridge serves as a new connection between the Ramolhaus and the Langtalereckhütte. The remoteness of the construction site, rapidly changing weather conditions at 2500 m above sea level and the adversity in accessibility due to the valley slopes, which were up to 80° steep, brought along high demands for design and construction of the bridge.
