    The via ferrata over the Brunnistöckli is designed as an entry-level via ferrata. It is excellent for getting to know the subject of "via ferrata". A short approach and just under 200 meters of elevation are quickly overcome. Two suspension bridges guarantee a great experience for the whole family. The orientation is mainly to the south, orientation is easy. The protection is excellent. The Brunnihütte is reached in just 15 min after the route and offers a place to stop for refreshments.
