description

Buildering fristet in der Schweiz im internationalen Vergleich eher ein Schattendasein. Dies mag einerseits an den umfangreichen Klettermöglichkeiten an den natürlichen Felswänden oder aber auch an den heiklen rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen liegen. Wer jedoch mit dem nötigen Anstand und Respekt mal ein paar Züge an einem geeigneten Objekt probiert, wird eventuell feststellen wie überraschend unterschiedlich und abwechlungsreich die Boulderprobleme sein können.

access issues

Beachte die Einschränkungen und rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen in den einzelnen Gebieten. Nur durch konsequent beanstandungsfreies Buildering dürfte es längerfristig eventuell möglich werden Gebiete aus der rechtlichen Grauzone zu holen und eine offizielle Erlaubnis zu erlangen.

Die Publikation von Gebieten / Routen / Boulderproblemen an künstlichen Objekten auf thecrag.com stellt keine grundsätzliche Legitimation dar. Wiederholung erfolgen in Eigenverantwortung und unter eigener Haftung.

1.1.3. Alpstein 1,174 routes in Crag

Summary:

Sport climbing, Trad climbing and other styles

Lat / Long: 47.259579, 9.357574

summary

Incredible Schrattenkalk in a beautiful landscape.

description

The Alpstein mountain range is a subgroup of the Appenzell Alps in Switzerland. The Alpstein massif is in Appenzell Innerrhoden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden and St. Gallen.

Despite it being rather low when compared to other Alpine peaks - the highest mountain is the Säntis at 2502 metres - the Alpstein, due to their northern "outpost" position only a short distance from Lake Constance (nearly 30 km) are relatively tall when compared to the surrounding area. The range also includes the Altenalp Türm as the northernmost summit above 2,000 metres in Switzerland.

To get an impression of this beauty check out the 360° panormas presented by appenzellerlinks.ch.

approach

Because of its size the area has 4 major starting points:

1. Schwägalp (North)

2. Wasserauen (North/East)

3. Brülisau (East)

4. Wildhaus (South)

From this starting points most climbs are accessible within 2 hours. Some approaches can be accelerated by using cable cars but they are very expensive.

where to stay

The villages around the area provide a lot accommodations and there are a lot of huts where you can stay. Above 2000m its generally allowed to biwak.

ethic

Sport climbs are very well protected but the historic multi pitch routes are sometime strange bolted and you have to take long run outs. Generally it is a good advice to bring some gear to improve protection where necessary.

New routes should be discussed with local authorities and the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC) before hand. Especially if routes may distract animals and destroy vegetation.

history

Already at the beginning of the 20th century mountaineers started to explore and ascent the summits of the Alpstein. Marcel Halbeisen from the Swiss mountain club St. Gallen scanned the old guide books and published them on his website.

Summary:

Mostly Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 47.117309, 8.986103

summary

A very big crag with two sectors. In Südwand you will find lots of (mostly) easy multi-pitch routes. In Überhänge there are hard and short sportclimbing routes.

description

Due to the south facing wall, it usually is too hot in summertime (maybe you'll get some shades in the Überhänge Sector) but sometimes you can even climb in winter.

approach

Follow the signs to the base of Südwand. To Überhänge you can either walk at the base of the Südwand to the right and there on a path marked white blue white around the corner (10 min from the backpack depot) or you follow the small road after Alpenbeizli Winteregg to the east and then after a few hundred meters you go up the crag over the steep gras slope

where to stay

You can camp at the parking (10.-€/sFr. per tent/campervan, 2.-€/sFr. per person, 1.- €/sFr. per child (8-16years)), parking costs 5.-€/sFr. per day (8:00-22:00)). (Prices from 2020) You should best be able to pay the exact amount you need in an envelope.

summary

Shady crag next to the Walensee with mostly vertical endurance climbing on limestone.

approach

From the paid parking area the the campsite (47.1269, 9.1114), follow the gravel road eastwards, crossing the river Linth. You will find some sectors directly at the road. For the main sector you have to continue until you reach a stairway next to the car gallery (47.1258, 9.1239). After going up the stairway, you have to go right on a small path.

1.2.7. Gäsi 59 routes in Crag

Summary:

All Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 47.120979, 9.112569

description

"Gäsi is reserved for hard-movers - below a 7a/b level you have no business on these rocks, as even the few easier routes are tough and require solid foot technique and a complete repertoire of movements. Since Gäsi is less frequented, there are mostly no traces of chalk on the routes, which makes onsight-climbing even more interesting, albeit more demanding."

1.2.8. Deponie 38 routes in Crag

Summary:

Lat / Long: 47.091256, 9.054530

description

Deponie‘s routes offer many different climbing styles and a wide range of grades. The approach is pleasant and kid-friendly as is the base of the wall. The rock is not extremely solid everywhere so beware of rock fall.

Lat / Long: 47.151429, 9.377445

summary

Really nice endurance routes. One of the best areas in the region if you climb that grade. Due the high altitude and the shade in the morning, you can climb here quite well in the summer.

description

• With kids: The base on the wall is mostly steep with not much space. On the left side of the crag, in front of 'Don't speak', there is some space for kids to play.

approach

You can park your car at the top parking space when you drive up the "Grabserberg" at 47.16423, 9.38304

You have to pay a fee of 6CHF per day or 10CHF for two days.

1.3.2. Brochne Burg 84 routes in Crag

Summary:

All Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 47.103642, 9.490543

description

This crag, located in the east of Switzerland, Kanton St. Gallen, right next to Liechtenstein offers plenty of climbing for all levels. Brochne Burg has over 60 routes jam packed into an extremely picturesque and well protected gorge.

There is a public car park, a paved walk-in through wine fields with a view of to old ruines set before typically Swiss backdrop of snow capped Alps.

The crag is protected all day long from the sun, and the walls are laid out as if they were built for climbing. Each wall has its own dedicated grade band, plenty of room between the starts, and there is even a picknick area.

However, not all is good with Brochne Burg. Lots of the routes were polished and I found them to be under graded. So 4cs felt like 5b.

• With kids: The base is inclined but not too steep and suitable for smaller children. However, there are a lot of loose rocks on the ground and not a lot of space to play or run around.

access issues

Public car-park, paved foot path, easy walk from top of crag to climbing routes.

approach

This has to be one of the most pleasant walk-ins both terms of ease and scenery I have ever had. There is an official public car-park (47.10473, 9.4852) From here it is a nice 15 min stroll to the top of the crag.

From the car-park walk back from where you came, back on the road that you drove up, about 15 meters down is the entrance (47.0997, 9.4845)

Simply follow this path through the wine fields (you will seen the Wartau Ruine) past the cow padock back into the forest

Then about 200 meters into the forest you will be located at the top of the crag. (crag47.1035, 9.4901)

ethic

As your walking from the public car-park to the hiking trail you may see cars parked along the road. Please do not get tempted to park here, you will only save your self 4 mins of walking but will start to upset the locals.

1.3.3. Schollberg 80 routes in Crag

Summary:

All Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 47.066148, 9.465995

summary

Many easy routes and well established, therefore often crowded.

description

All the route names are written on the wall and there is a drawn Topo with the route names and grades at the crag.

• With kids: Perfect crag for kids! The ground is flat with lots of space to run and play and there are even a few easy routes for firsts tries on the rock. There is a shelter with tables and benches and you can barbecue. Not a lot of rockfall potential at the sector 'Hauptwand' but there are many loose rocks at 'Römerweg'. The only downside is the road nearby with lots of traffic so you have to be careful when visiting with very small children.

approach

There is a parking lot directly at the crag at this location: (47.06630, 9.46791). There is a small fee (5 SFR, coins only) for the parking, which is used to maintain the climbing area.

access issues

Es gibt dringende (und schlechte) Nachrichten zum Klettergebiet Motel. Wir stehen hier nämlich kurz vor einem Kletterverbot!!!

Derzeit wird hier regelmässig nachts mit Scheinwerfern und lauter Musik geklettert, Powerscreams und laute Fluchtiraden bei einem Sturz fehlen ebenso wenig. Die Gäste fühlen sich dadurch in ihrer Nachtruhe gestört. Da das Klettergiet auf Privatgrund des Motels.

Daher unbedingt folgende Regeln beachten:

1. Keine Nightsessions, egal ob mit Scheinwerfer, Stirnlampe oder im Dunkeln!

2. Keine fixen Installationen (Seile, Leitern), keine Gegenstände (Teppiche), kein Abfall!

3. Keine Musik, kein unnötiges Geschrei. Ein leises Ächzen mag einem in diesen anstrengenden Routen entfahren, das geht

4. Zustieg stets dem Weglein vom Parkplatz entlang, keinesfalls über die Golfwiese gehen.

1.3.17. Paschga 24 routes in Crag

Summary:

All Sport climbing

Lat / Long: 47.104873, 9.328071

summary

Mostly endurance routes on limestone which stay dry in the rain. Due to the exposition, the cliff stays in the shade for the whole day. Crowded on weekends.

description

All route names are written to the wall, so it's easy to navigate even without a topo.

• With kids: The base of the wall is wide and mostly without risk of falling. Because it's steep in some areas, it's only recommended for older kids who can walk safely or younger ones who don‘t walk at all. Also kids younger than the age of 3-4 have to be carried/assisted up to the crag because of the steep path full with loose rocks that is always wet.

• Dry in the rain:

  Even if the wall isn't that much overhanging, it very rarely gets wet.

approach

There is a small parking area behind the ARA Seez (47.1026, 9.3346). From there it's a short walk on a wide track to the stone quarry. There you have to follow a small and quite steep path (47.1055, 9.3287) to the crag.

Graubünden is the largest and easternmost canton of Switzerland. The canton shares borders with the cantons of Ticino, Uri, Glarus and St. Gallen and international borders with Italy, Austria and Liechtenstein. The name Graubünden translates as the "Grey Leagues", referring to the canton's origin in three local alliances, the League of God's House, the Grey League, and the League of the Ten Jurisdictions. Graubünden is also home to three of Switzerland's ethnic groups and the subsequent languages of Swiss German, Italian and Romansh are all native to the canton. It is the only officially trilingual canton and the only canton where the Romansh language has official status.

An extensive guide book written by Thomas Wälti is available from the Swiss Alpine Club.

Die Silvretta ist eine Gebirgsgruppe in den Zentralalpen der Ostalpen. Anteil haben Österreich mit den Bundesländern Tirol und Vorarlberg und die Schweiz mit dem Kanton Graubünden. Auf dem Gipfel der Dreiländerspitze stoßen die Gebiete von Tirol, Vorarlberg und Graubünden zusammen. In der Silvretta liegen viele Berggipfel mit einer Höhe von mehr als 3000 Metern ü. NN. (Dreitausender). Vor allem auf der Nordseite in Österreich sowie in der Schweiz nördlich des Flüelapasses gibt es eine Vielzahl größerer und kleinerer Gletscher. Deshalb wird das Gebiet auch „Die Blaue Silvretta“ genannt.

Die Silvretta ist zweigeteilt: der größere Teil und der höchste Gipfel, der Piz Linard, befinden sich in der Schweiz, Teile dieser Seite gelten als unerschlossen. Der österreichische Anteil der Silvretta dagegen weist die größere Vergletscherung und fast alle bewirtschafteten Alpenvereinshütten auf und ist daher bei Bergsteigern und Touristen bekannter.

summary

Small crag that is especially well suited for families and beginners.

description

Neat little crag with a picnic-place, grill, firewood and a shelter. The main attraction is the south-face of "Sector B" with several routes well suited for inexperienced climbers and kids.

There is a lot of variety in the quality of the routes, some loose rock, grading is a bit inconsitent and bolting is not always top-notch.

You'll also find a small via ferrata traversing all of the sectors.

approach

Follow the hiking trail past Hotel Klewenstock. Starting at the next fork, there are signs indicating the crag.

description

The Wendenstöcke form a 10km long chain in the Gadmertal valley, generally oriented towards SSE, on the west side of the Sustenpass. From Tällistock to Titlis there are various sectors with a total of 130 multi-pitch routes. The routes at Pfaffenhuet, Gross Wendenstock and Reissend Nollen form the heart of the area. This is the epicentre of alpine sport climbing in Switzerland. Although one usually climbs only in the lower part of these mountains, the routes are very popular because of their rock quality, their beauty and difficulty. The climbing is often steep and athletic, the rock often firm, optimally structured and handy.

The season at Wendestöcken extends roughly from July to October. Early in the year, meltwater strips from the up to 3000m high summit regions often disturb and as long as there is still snow on the bands further up, there is a considerable danger of falling rocks. In midsummer, from midday onwards (except on very stable days with low humidity), thermal, deep-base spring clouds often occur, enveloping the walls in the cold, ghostly turning fog, which is unpleasant during climbing. The best conditions are usually found in autumn, but only until the first snow falls.

The protection is worth mentioning: depending on the route it varies from good to rough, but almost everywhere it is tight and requires a courageous lead, there are no plaisir routes.

approach

The approaches now mostly show visible tracks and are not too tricky in good conditions. Nevertheless, they lead over long distances through steep cliffs, which don't allow any mistakes, fatal accidents have already occurred during the ascent. Whoever comes into a thunderstorm at the turns has a problem in several ways: in the upper wall areas enormous masses of water can accumulate, which pour out as huge torrents over the routes and entry areas, and they also carry the stones, which lie around in the upper wall areas so countlessly. And, of course, the way into the valley via the wet cliffs takes on a completely different dimension than it did in the morning, when the weather was friendly during the ascent.

ethic

Talk to locals about the ethic of bolting and retro-bolting routes.

summary

Gruyère covers a big portion of Fribourg's foothills of the alps. Gentle hills and limestone mountains dominate the landscape and offer almost endless climbing in many crags of all sizes and styles.

description

Here the term Greyerzerland (Gruyère) is broader than the political or strict geographical definition. It covers climbing areas from the German speaking area of Fribourg (Sensenbezirk), through the foothills of Fribourg's alps up to the Jaun pass (incl. the Gastlosen) and to Montbovon towards the Pays-d’Enhaut.

This region mostly offers single and multi-pitch sport climbing and some bouldering on mostly excellent rock in a beautiful setting. It offers enough for everyone in all grades but also some of the hardest routes in Switzerland.

You will find climbing year round but the best time for most areas is from early spring to late fall.
