The Tibetan bridge of Sellano, adrenaline and emotions in the green heart of Umbria
The Tibetan Bridge - with discontinuous footfalls - connects Sellano, part of the circuit of the most beautiful villages in Italy, to the hamlet of Montesanto, extending through the void for 517.5 meters at a height of 175 meters above the valley of the Vigi river, with 1023 steps required to cross it! Together with the Tibetan bridge of Arouca 516 in Portugal, it is the tallest in Europe.
However, Sellano's bridge has the distinctive feature of an upward climb, with a positive elevation difference of 68 meters between the two stations. The two bridges are nearly equivalent in both length and height; a beautiful partnership. So if you are planning a vacation in Umbria, Sellano and its bridge are an adrenaline-pumping stop not to be missed!
Where the Tibetan bridge of Sellano is located
The Tibetan bridge is located exactly in the historic center of Sellano, halfway between the cities of Foligno and Spoleto. Its accessibility allows for planning a vacation or a weekend in the wonderful and wild Umbrian Apennines, offering a different experience without too much hassle.
175 reasons to get excited
The real thrill of the Tibetan bridge of Sellano, beyond enjoying its maximum height of 175 meters from the ground, is to turn around and look down toward Sellano once you arrive at Montesanto. Then you can tell us on our social channels what you think! A magnificent engineering work, safely traversable by everyone: experienced hikers, daring young people, as well as families and groups of friends. A bridge with discontinuous footfalls means that there is void between one step and the next, and it’s an adrenaline rush to experience!
Where is the longest Tibetan bridge in the world
In the so-called "poor people's war" in Italy, various locations are competing for the nonexistent title of the longest single-span Tibetan bridge in the world, which is not in Italy but in the Czech Republic: the Sky Bridge 721, measuring 721 meters in length. The Tibetan bridge of Sellano is quite high, providing extreme excitement. Quite impressive!
