The via ferrata over the Brunnistöckli has been designed as a beginner's via ferrata. It is ideal for getting to know the subject of "via ferrata". A short approach and the almost 200 meters in altitude are quickly overcome. Two suspension bridges guarantee a nice experience for the whole family. The orientation is mainly southern, the orientation succeeds without problems. The protection is excellent. The Brunnihütte is reached in just 15 minutes after the climb and is an ideal place to stop for refreshments.
