Via ferrata Graustock

Ascent:

We take the Engelberg-Trübsee gondola lift first to the Trübsee station, then the chairlift further up to the Jochpass (2207 m).

Route:

From the Jochpass, a signpost directs us to the white-blue-white marked trail. We follow the southeast ridge of the Graustock to the first upswing (20 vertical meters).the wire rope leads us to the point Rot Nollen (2309 m, Swisstopo, A/B). The marked path leads us to the second rocky upswing (60 vertical meters). We continue steeply over grass and rock and along the wire ropes to the Schafberg (2522 m). From here the marked path leads over stone slabs and scree to the steepest upswing on the ridge. Slightly to the left of the main ridge, the route leads us up an approximately 80 m high pillar (C/D) with the help of steps and treads and to the next high saddle. We follow the trail until we get back to the ridge proper and follow it up with the help of wire ropes to the summit at 2661m.

Descent:

From the summit we follow the wire ropes back along our ascent route to the marked junction. Here we turn to the right and descend southwards step by step into the Schaftal. We always follow the white-blue-white markings until our path meets the white-red-white marked hiking trail at point 2324 m (Swisstopo), which leads us back to the left to the Jochpass.
