Via ferrata Graustock

The via ferrata on the Graustock (2661 m) offers us a mix of mountain path and the overcoming of the partly steep and exposed rocky upturns. Breathtaking views into the 700 m high north face of the Graustock and into the Engelberg valley await us. From the summit we enjoy a magnificent panorama over the peaks Titlis, Spannort, Rigi, Mittelland and Pilatus and the Bernese peaks "Wetterhörner, Schreckhorn and Finsteraarhorn".

For the less experienced, it is also possible to climb up to the Schafberg (easier via ferrata, K3-K4) and take the exit there. From the Schafberg, you can exit to the left and walk to the hiking trail, which is marked white-red-white. From there, there is a hiking trail up to the ridge in front of the Graustock.

In early summer, large snow cornices can still protrude over the ridge, also snow bridges over the karst areas can collapse when stepped on. So caution is advised in these places! Orientation is easy in good visibility, but in poor visibility the descent can be a challenge. The ridge is exposed on the southeast side. Pay special attention to the weather forecast, as the entire tour is very exposed and offers no exit possibility.
