Vorder - Hinter Eggstock

K3-K5moderately difficult to very difficult
Vorder - Hinter Eggstock
The Vorder–Hinter Eggstock ferrata is the demanding black line in the Braunwald Eggstock system. It stays on the ridge and asks for sure footing, good arm strength, and comfort with exposure. The route is described as continuous K5 terrain, with key sections that make it a serious outing rather than a casual climb. Expect a long day, especially if you approach from Braunwald on foot and plan the descent carefully. The setting is alpine and airy, with broad views and a route that feels committed from start to finish.
