Just in time for the Easter holidays, the highest Tibetan suspension bridge in Europe has been inaugurated in Italy. The new spectacular Umbria attraction is intended to boost tourism in the region.
The highest Tibetan bridge in Europe was officially opened in Sellano in the heart of Umbria. It crosses the valley floor at a height of 175 meters (575 feet). The bridge is almost 518 meters (1,700 feet) long. In around 40 minutes, daredevils cross the 1,023 steps at a dizzying height.
The structure connects Sellano with Montesanto. Crossing the bridge is only permitted in a secured manner. According to the newspaper “La Repubblica”, a maximum of 75 people are allowed on the structure at any one time.
Tickets to gain access to the bridge are now on sale here. The price per person is 25 Euro. Children who want to cross the bridge must be at least 1.20 meters (4 feet) tall.
