Wildhauscher Schafberg

Erlebe eine genussvolle Klettertour über die Schafbergkante oberhalb von Wildhaus, ein echter Klassiker im Toggenburg! Die Route verläuft über griffigen Kalk und bietet abwechslungsreiche Kletterei grösstenteils im 4. Schwierigkeitsgrad, perfekt geeignet auch für Zustiegs- oder leichte Bergschuhe. Die kurze Schlüsselstelle im 5. Grad meistern wir gemeinsam mit  gezieltem Coaching durch unseren kompetenten Bergführer. Der Tag steckt voller Erlebnisse: Schon der Zustieg mit der kleinen Bahn ist ein Highlight, bevor wir in der Dreierseilschaft über die luftige Kante steigen. Die alpine Kletterei, die super Felsqualität sowie das abschliessende Abseilen machen diesen Tag zu einem unvergesslichen Abenteuer. Während der Tour begleiten uns grandiose Ausblicke auf die Churfirsten und das Säntismassiv, die immer wieder zum Innehalten einladen.

Eine abwechslungsreiche und unvergessliche Tagestour für alle, die alpines Ambiente, Kraxelgelände und gute Gesellschaft lieben!
