Description

100+ easy to moderate single and multi-pitch bolted routes on wonderful grippy granite gneiss. Mostly south facing with short approaches. Great for beginners and children.

For a complete catalog of this area I recommend the Filidor Plaisir Ost guidebook.

Getting There

From Meiringen drive 40 minutes on route 11 to Alpin Center Sustenpass. Alternatively, drive through Wassen when comjng from A2. This is the hub for the area, and approaches are between 5-45 minutes depending on the specific climb. The Alpin Center has a nice restaurant / biergarten with outdoor seating. There are regular buses to this area. (of course, it's Switzerland!)
