The Tiefenbachkogl peak stands at an elevation of 3,250 meters above sea level.
The Felssteg bridge extends approximately 20 meters beyond the natural cliff edge.
The structure is connected to the parking area by a tunnel drilled through the glacier mountain.
The platform allows sightlines to the Wildspitze, which is the highest mountain in Tyrol at 3,768 meters.
The Big 3 Panorama Felssteg is a steel-and-glass pedestrian bridge suspended over the Rettenbach Glacier in the Ötztal Alps. It forms part of the 'BIG 3' initiative in Sölden, connecting three 3,000-meter peaks accessible by lift. The structure extends from the Tiefenbachkogl peak, providing a direct vertical view down to the glacier surface. Visitors access the platform via the Tiefenbachbahn cable car. It provides 360-degree views of the surrounding Oetztal mountain range, including the Wildspitze. The bridge is engineered to withstand extreme alpine weather conditions at high altitude.
