One of the most visited climbing areas in the Brig-Aletsch region is the Trämel (995m) above the Hegdorn.

The grippy, predominantly athletic wall climbing is one of the assets of this climbing area. It is quickly accessible and well secured. Due to the south-facing location, climbing can also be done in mild winter temperatures.

Safety guidelines

Even if it looks so tempting in films: Rock climbing in nature is not for greenhorns. In addition to suitable equipment and strength, you need sound training and practice in belaying techniques. Because if you are properly secured, serious accidents hardly ever happen when rock climbing.

The 5 most important tips:

  • Learn belaying techniques and never let go of the brake rope when belaying.
  • Question the belaying behaviour of your rope partner and address mistakes.
  • Check your partner - pay special attention to knots
  • Check commands and signs beforehand
  • Wear a helmet, take off finger rings
