- Round trip
- Difficulty: medium
- Condition: easy
- Great panorama
- Via ferrata

The Zittergrat on the Brunnistöckli above the Brunnihütte is the ideal place to playfully try out more difficult via ferratas. It was specially established as a short and challenging practice via ferrata.

The relatively short Zittergrat via ferrata on the Brunnistöckli is a complement to the "normal" Brunnistöckli via ferrata. While the "normal" is ideal for beginners, the Zittergrat is already a short introduction to the world of more extreme via ferratas. Fans are offered a relatively short, extremely steep, and exposed route where they can gain first experiences at the upper difficulty levels. It is excellently secured, south-facing, and very demanding.
