One of the highest-lying sport climbing areas in the Alps
It takes about 20 minutes to get from the Seegrube Station to the Nordkette Climbing Arena. Start at the back of the station building and walk over the large gravel area to get to the starting point at the foot of the rocks. There are approximately 40 tours which are mainly single-rope routes at the UIAA (International Mountaineering and Climbing Federation) difficulty levels 4 – 9, which means they are suitable for both beginner and advanced-level climbers.
The routes have been secured with over 500 high-grade steel bolts and modern anchor chains by route builder and mountain sports enthusiast Christian “Picco” Piccolruaz. Most of the tours are single-rope routes equipped with top-rope carabiners, which makes it possible for people who are new to high-altitude climbing to have a go.
