Rigidalstockgrat
Rigidalstockgrat is a longer via ferrata above Engelberg that leads to a panoramic summit and is suitable for the ascent and the descent. It is the more accessible of the two Rigidalstock variants, so it works well if you want a rewarding mountain outing without committing to the harder face line. The route begins and ends at the Brunnihütte, which makes logistics pleasantly straightforward. Expect a well-secured mountain day with big views and a steady alpine character rather than short, athletic cruxes. In poorer visibility, orientation can become tricky, so a calm start, good weather and solid equipment are important.
