Description
The climbing area Chalet Mengis is located on the upper edge of the village of Leukerbad, about 5–10 minutes on foot above Hotel Regina Terme. ...
This small, quietly located climbing area offers grippy limestone with slightly inclined to vertical routes.
Attention: the distances between bolts are somewhat larger on some routes – solid climbing routine is required here.
Thanks to its proximity to the village, Chalet Mengis is a popular spot for short climbing sessions, whether in the morning, after work, or as an introduction before bigger routes. The flat ground at the base of the wall offers enough space for belaying, changing clothes, or simply taking a break.
For those who want more later: The climbing area Tolen is only a few minutes further uphill and offers more family-friendly routes.
