Brunnistöckli / Zittergrat
Within a 15-minute footwalk from the mountain station Brunni, we'll reach the entrance of the two Via Ferratas. The rather easy Brunnistoeckli is ideal for beginners, families and corporate events. Ambitious guests are recommended to climb the amazing and quite demanding Zittergrat (German for "scary ridge").
