I had passed by it several times on my way to and from Geneva but now it was time to stop, visit and enjoy!
The walk across was spectacular and offered tremendous views of the landscape!
Here you can see the full length of this engineering beauty.
The "Goms Bridge" can be found in the gorgeous countryside in the canton of Valais in Switzerland. It crosses the Rhone river not too far from its source and offers breath taking views of the historical villages that are nestled within the forested hills.
I had previously chronicled my visit to the Carasc Tibetan style bridge but this one was equally exciting and flavorful!
Here you can see the pristine waters of the Rhone river as it winds its way down the valley.
These quaint wooden homes greeted us on the other side of the bridge.
Another view of the beauty that surrounded us in the area around the the bridge.
This is the view from a cozy little cafe where we stopped to "whet our whistles".
