Approach

A short approach leads from the parking lot to the start of the route.

Route

The first pitches go over cracks and slabs, followed by steeper corners. The rock is grippy, the line logical. With each pitch, the view of the Grimsel world opens up. The final pitch offers wide vistas.

Descent

Proudly we reach the top and refresh ourselves before descending back to the parking lot.

Weather info

General weather info

Weather can influence any tour, and a clear decision is often only possible on the day itself. We review conditions carefully and remain within our safety limits, and bad weather alone does not mean we have to stop.

Make sure we can reach you with current contact information in case your booking changes. Silence from us means your tour is still planned or the final call is not yet made. If we need to cancel, you can rebook, choose another activity, or get a full refund.
