About this audio guide
This audio guide to the Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge near Randa, above Zermatt, starts with two bridges and a pair of numbers that do not seem to belong together. It goes back to the summer of twenty ten, when the high Europaweg trail between Grächen and Zermatt reopened across the Grabengufer ravine on a brand new crossing. Along the way you meet the prefect behind the trail and the psychologist and winemaker whose name the span now carries. Best heard standing on the deck, single file, with the scree far below.
