Zittergrat
Zittergrat am Brunnistöckli is the shorter neighbour of Brunnistöckli, but it still packs plenty into a compact outing. It works well as a first taste of the vertical world in Engelberg, offering a route that can sharpen your technique and confidence before you move on to longer and more demanding ferratas. Expect a route that feels lively rather than leisurely, with enough character to keep experienced climbers engaged too. Its position in the Brunni area gives it a scenic mountain setting and easy combination options with other activities in Engelberg.
