Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps

Also known as Golden Gate Bridge der Alpen

The Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps is a suspension footbridge above Hinterglemm in the Saalbach-Hinterglemm ski resort area of Salzburg province, built in 2014 and named for its orange paint job and cable-supported form that references the San Francisco bridge.

The Golden Gate Bridge of the Alps above Hinterglemm is a suspension footbridge built in 2014 with an orange paint job that invites its comparison to the San Francisco original. It spans a valley at 1,600 meters and is accessible via summer cable cars from the Saalbach-Hinterglemm resort. Free to cross; 30 minutes as a standalone; summer season only. Saalbach-Hinterglemm is 30 minutes by bus from Zell am See. The bridge is marketing turned into infrastructure, and it works: the valley view from the center is genuinely good.
