climbing guidebook Schweiz plaisir West Band 2

The second volume of Switzerland plaisir WEST covers the most beautiful climbing areas from Valais via the canton of Vaud to Haute-Savoie and Chamonix.
Nothing new in the west, far from it! Although most of the easily accessible walls have been accessible for a long time, new routes are constantly being created or old ones are being awakened from their slumber thanks to renovation and cleaning programmes. The climbing routes in Oberwald and Val d'Arolla are good examples of this. In Oberwald, the rocks have been literally ‘excavated’ and now offer wonderful routes for children, beginners and advanced climbers. At Douves Rousses in Val d'Arolla, a first-class plaisir area has been created thanks to extensive renovation work.
The ‘plaisir WEST Volume 2’ offers a choice of 64 areas, all of which have their own special features and charms. The mild climate in the sunny Valais makes climbing possible all year round. The areas close to the valley are perfect in the transitional seasons and in winter, while the higher walls offer cool air on hot days. Many areas are easily accessible by public transport.
