First Cliff Walk Grindelwald - Suspension bridges and spectacular observation platforms in the middle of a breathtaking mountain landscape - For those who want excitement

More and more alpine regions offer an unforgettable mountain experience with an adrenaline rush - even for inexperienced hikers, setting high standards to maintain everyone's safety. The stainless steel structures from Jakob Rope Systems provide just the safety and reliability required.

A few steps on the First Cliff Walk near Grindelwald will leave even the most hardened individuals breathless: A steel walkway leads along vertical rock walls across the abyss. Those who prefer not to look into the void to the right or below through the grate floor can enjoy studying the geologically interesting rock surface to the left. However, the abyss must be faced by everyone when crossing the 40-meter-long suspension bridge held in place by a single wire. But it's worth it: The view leads the eye from alpine meadows and waterfalls to the impressive four-thousand-meter peaks of the Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau.

A place like this, which makes most people dizzy, requires top-quality protection that will last for many years to come, which is why Webnet Jakob Rope Systems is the perfect solution. Stainless, acid-resistant steel and wire mesh combined with fantastic design and long durability. This provides protection you can rely on throughout the hike and leads along both sides of the winding path to the 45-meter-long observation walkway.

However, thanks to Webnet lightweight and adaptable Webnet , it Webnet easier to transport than many other steel products. Assembly is also simple, which contributed to the fact that a demanding project like this, consisting of a total of 32.3 tons of steel and 398 meters Webnet , could Webnet be completed in as little as five months.
