Our new GDP (person on assignment from the US) started last week and so I invited her and her husband to join a couple of us on a hike. Our new associate came too. What was supposed to be a fairly easy family hike trail quickly turned into a more challenging hike when we decided not to wait an hour for the gondola to take us most of the way up the mountain and instead hike up. Then we went a little off the trail somehow, walked through mud, slid down hills holding on to trees, used Adrian's satellite gps and finally found the right path. It was a little bit more than our new associate had signed up for, but great fun in the end.
The highlight of our hike was the Trift Bridge itself. It is a very long rope bridge across a very deep valley. It was a little scary, but cool to cross.
This is the view of the glacier from the rope bridge.
Very far down!

Here is the little gondola we rode down. It only holds 8 people as it was originally built for the construction workers to work on the hydro-electric plant and only opened for tourism in the past 5 years.
We rewarded ourselves for our hike with beers before our ride down.
