About Braunwald:

Single and multi-pitch climbing on limestone, as well as a very popular via ferrata.
Nearest town or city: Linthal
Directions: Drive to Linthal / follow signs to Braunwaldbahn / park there. Or take the train to Linthal / Braunwaldbahn. Take the funicular up to Braunwald, then the Gondelbahn to Grotzenbühl, and the chairlift to Seblengrat. From there head towards Gumen.
Latitude, Longitude: 46.95686, 8.98530
Access Issues: The trail turn-off going to the Klettergarten / first exit of the via ferrata is easy to miss. Taking the trail to "Klettersteige / Klettergarten via Gumengrat" as shown in the coordinates given should be easier. Nearby food, sleep and via ferrata gear rental at Berggasthaus Gumen (www.gumen.ch). Hardy souls could also consider the cave that can be found a bit to the left of the second exit of the via ferrata...
