The first suspension bridge in Russia with a length of 32 meters with transparent steps is installed at an altitude of 2320 meters above sea level.

«Our bridge is a unique design. Of course, we were inspired by foreign counterparts, but in the end we created our own version. The bridge consists of treads made of solid monolithic polycarbonate, fastened with metal brackets and cables. The bridge itself, in contrast to those that exist in the world, is mobile, therefore the passage through it provides a lot of vivid emotions,» said the organizer of the project, Alexander Yakushchenko.

Safety is guaranteed by special safety equipment, which must be worn by everyone who wants to cross the bridge. There are also restrictions on weight and height - people whose weight does not exceed 100 kilograms and are at least 130 centimeters tall are allowed on the bridge.

Thus, it is now possible to walk to Rose Peak via three suspension bridges. The Big Bridge is open only during the summer season and is 115 meters long. Small - 72 meters long - is open all year round. It is expected that the new "glass" bridge (32 meters) will also be available at any time of the year.
