Description

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.

Hört, seht und staunt - alles in allem warten hier 120 Pause-Touren! DAS ultimative Werk für Extremkletterer und für alle die von den ganz großen Kletterrouten der Alpen träumen (wollen).

Im extremen Fels - Die "legendären" Alpinklettertouren in den Alpen

Author(s): Adi Stocker

Date: 2014

ISBN: 978-3-95611-022-1

Auf den 44 000 für dieses Buch recherchierten Klettermetern mischen sich epochale alpine Meilensteine unter genussreiche neue Routenkreationen. Kletternde Legenden wie Albert Precht, Klaus Hoi oder Heinz Zak kommentieren ihre Leidenschaft für den steilen Fels. Routen von Klettergrößen aus lang vergangener Zeit, wie Angelo Dibona oder Hias Rebitsch, sind den modernen Anforderungen entsprechend genauestens aufgezeichnet. Und auch den neuen, mit Bohrhaken abgesicherten Routen von Kreativtalenten wie Ralf Sussmann, Rudi Kühberger oder dem Autor selber, ist viel Platz gewidmet. 40 lange Routen mit mindestens 20 Seillängen, in denen man dem Zeitgeist entsprechend Bohrhaken klinken kann, aber manchmal auch mit maroden Rostgurken Vorlieb nehmen muss.
