Not recommended. A large construction site with cranes, construction equipment, temporary walkways with rubber mats, etc. The suspension bridge is quite close to the rock face and not as free-swinging as it appears in the pictures. The tower with the viewing platform (19 CHF extra) is, in my opinion, a flawed design. It's impossible to take decent pictures from the top because the floors below protrude far too much.
