Climbing directly above Lake Walen

If you like to combine water, sun & rock, you don't necessarily have to go to the sea. Julian's newly established climbing route "freikletterkultur" at Lake Walen offers a holiday ambience like in the South of France.

To the dates and registration

Our mountain guide Julian has drilled an exciting route on Lake Walen. The approach over the water with a view of the Churfirsten peaks is unique. Whether kayak, SUP or pedalo, it takes about an hour to get to the start. The pedalo or SUP can be hired right at the meeting point. After the crossing, 4 beautiful pitches await us in not quite vertical limestone rock, a breathtaking backdrop and fantastic experiences. After abseiling 3 times, we return to the ledge by the water. After the "obligatory jump" into the water, we take a leisurely walk back to Unterterzen.

Take your time and let Julian guide you over the water and the rock.
