Best Time of Year
Description
The hike to Graustock offers us a mountain trail. We can expect breathtaking views deep into the 700 m high north face of the Graustock and into the Engelberg valley. From the destination, we enjoy a magnificent panorama over the peaks Titlis, Spannort, Rigi, Mittelland, and Pilatus, as well as the Bernese peaks Wetterhörner, Schreckhorn, and Finsteraarhorn.
In early summer, large snow cornices can still protrude over the ridge, and snow bridges over karst areas can collapse when stepped on. Caution is therefore advised in these areas! Orientation is easy in good visibility; in poor visibility, especially the descent can be a challenge. The ridge is exposed to the southeast. Special attention must be paid to the weather report, as the entire route is very exposed.
