Difficulty
Physical effort, technical demands, trail conditions, ascent and duration — this says nothing about exposure.
Fear of heights
Exposure only: drop-offs, narrow paths on steep slopes, traverses, bridges and ladders. Assessed independently of the difficulty grade.
Why this rating?
The official route includes a steep final climb to the 2,503 m Eggerhorn summit and a steep descent/traverse into the Binntal. No ladders, suspension bridges or explicit head-for-heights warning are stated, so it is rated moderate for exposure.
