Rigidalstockwand
Rigidalstock in Brunni above Engelberg is a rewarding panoramic via ferrata for hikers who want a longer mountain outing with secure climbing sections on both the ascent and the descent. The route is presented as one of the longer options in the area, with a family-friendly variant among them, and it leads to a summit with wide views. That combination makes it a good choice when you want a full alpine day rather than a short sport climb. Because both directions follow secured via ferrata terrain, steady movement and good basic confidence on exposed rock are important.
