Description

One of the best bouldering spots in Europe located in an amazing alpine setting. The feel of the great outdoors, with nothing less than an exceptional granite quality and lots of magic lines scattered along the mountains. (Altitude : 2000-2600 m). Ideal in summer, fresh air, no ski resorts, rather long walks but generally not too steep on good paths (max elevation +400 m). Some areas can be reached in 10 min.
–Definitely a stoking experience ! But be prepared it's a wild environnement.
Best season : July-September
Over 1200 problems! And potential for new developments.
Water often available along the trails (except Blauberg).

Before starting your day, please download the topo, the network is sometimes instable. (Good cell phone service at Tatsch Parkplatz).

The boulders dry generally quickly,, count 6 hours after a heavy rain. But because of the open space and the wind they can dry in an hour after a short rain.
