Climbing in Switzerland and surrounding areas
Topos for selected Plaisir, Extreme, and Alpine climbs for beginners and experts
For over 37 years, we have made writing climbing guidebooks our passion. Our goal is to create user friendly and interesting guidebooks to beginner and fun climbs as well as to the cutting edge hard climbs. In Switzerland “Plaisir” climbing has long meant stress free, fun well protected climbs. Father of Plaisir Climbing Jürg von Känel started Filidor Publishing House in 1986.
To our customers from outside Switzerland, we suggest ordering books directly from tmms Publishing in Germany or Cordee Books in UK.
Both books “Schlüsselstellen” and “Betsy Berg” are available from Panico Publishing in Germany.
