Graustock Via Ferrata
Are you sure-footed and do you have a head for heights?If so, there's nothing to stop you enjoying this peak experience on the Graustock via ferrata – with the exception of a couple of steep mountain paths and several climbing sections, of course. But with the right equipment, which you can hire from the valley station or Bärghuis Jochpass, you'll get there! As a reward, you'll not only have the sublime feeling of standing on the 2,662-metre-high peak, but you'll also get to enjoy the fantastic panoramic view of Titlis, Spannort, Rigi and Pilatus. On a clear day, you can even see right across to the Bernese Alps.
