Before you consider staggering heights, you should first start small say at least 50 meters elevated and about 128 metre bridge. You should not go far because here in Singapore, there is a place that you can consider. Have you tried the Supertree Grooves? Not only you conquer your fear of heights but also you get to see great views of the city.

If you want to peek down, you will be treated with stunning views of two mountains and in between. It is 300 meters suspended above the ground.

Stairway to Nothingness

There is actually a Stairway to Nothingness found in Austria. The challenge is to look down if you dare. The glass platform is about 100 metres above sea level. There is a viewing platform and you can take a peek of Dachstein Massif and some Australian alps.

Chamonix Skywalk

If you happen to visit France, you should head to Chamonix Skywalk in Aiguille du Midi. Some call it “void”. The platform is placed at the Montblanc peak. Your view will be surely breath-taking with mountains and valleys. It is dizzying since it boasts of 1,035 meters above sea level.
