Braunwald

Possible exit after Vorder - Mittler Eggstock

Open
K2moderate
The Vorder–Mittler Eggstock route is one of the Braunwald ridge via ferratas and is set in a high alpine, airy setting above the Gumen. It is a good choice for confident beginners with some mountain experience, but the exposed ridge character means surefootedness, a head for heights, and full via ferrata equipment are essential. The route stays on the crest for much of its line, so the views remain open throughout the crossing. Access is straightforward from the Gumen area, while the walk from Braunwald itself is considerably longer. Allow enough time for both the approach and the return, and plan for changeable mountain weather even in summer.
