The Findelbachbrücke, a cantilever viaduct next to Zermatt on the Gornergratbahn is the greatest construction on the line and provides breathtaking views in both directions for the rail passengers. The concession for the railway was awarded in 1892, and the buidling took place between 1896-1898, altogether taking 26 months. The three-phase AC rack railway reaches the highest open air station in Europe and is a top destination for tourists visiting the Alps.
