The bridge is named after the Swiss watchmaker Tissot, which serves as the primary sponsor.
The deck of the bridge is constructed from galvanized steel and anti-slip grating.
It is designed to remain stable and accessible even under extreme high-altitude weather conditions.
The bridge's design allows for significant temperature fluctuations between summer and winter seasons.
Visitors can see over 24 mountains that are higher than 4,000 meters from the bridge's vantage point.
Peak Walk by Tissot is the world's first suspension bridge connecting two mountain peaks, Scex Rouge and View Point. Located at 3,000 meters above sea level in the Glacier 3000 ski area, the bridge spans 107 meters in length and 0.8 meters in width. The structure offers unobstructed views of major Alpine summits, including the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc, and the Eiger. The bridge is engineered to withstand wind speeds of up to 250 kilometers per hour. It connects the upper station of the Glacier 3000 cable car to the adjacent summit observation deck. The location serves as the starting point for various glacier-based summer and winter activities. It remains one of the highest permanent pedestrian suspension bridges globally.

Bring polarized sunglasses to protect against intense UV radiation and snow glare, even on cloudy days.
Dress in multiple layers as temperatures drop significantly at 3,000 meters compared to the valley.
Visit on a weekday morning to minimize crowding on the narrow bridge walkway.
Do not attempt to visit if webcams show heavy fog or high winds, as the bridge may close for safety and visibility will be zero.
Operations depend entirely on mountain weather conditions and cable car maintenance cycles; typically closed during severe storms.
Avoid running or jumping on the bridge; remain aware of other visitors due to the narrow walkway.
