The usual via ferrata on Brunnistöckli is ideal for beginners: not too difficult, not too steep, not too long, but exposed, so that the real via ferrata feeling sets in, even more so than on Rigidalstockgrat which requires a fair bit of hiking until you can begin climbing. Those adept in the technique of clipping the karabiners in vertical terrain, are advised to give Zittergrat a go. This via ferrata runs up vertical walls to Brunnistöckli, and before the suspension bridge merges with the Brunnistöckli via ferrata. The crux of Zittergrat is a layaway traverse. Do not hesitate: take a deep breath, lean out and go – the steel cable will hold, for sure. After all this adrenalin enjoy a beer in the snack bar at the Härzliseeli and watch others climbing up Zittergrat. Cheers!

Route description

Approach

Brunnistöckli via ferrata

Start up the ridge, making use of numerous iron rungs before turning a corner to greet the first special attraction of the route: an 8-metre-long three-cable bridge. At the other end of this rather wobbly construction climb steep, but well protected terrain to reach an outcrop with a cross on top. From here, cross the long, slightly ascending but sturdy suspension bridge to reach the main summit ridge of Brunnistöckli (ca. 2030 m). Follow the ridge to the end of the route at Schonegg.

Descent

Additional information
