Äscher ****

Dubbed the “Alpstein’s Céüse” is attractive with its huge number of routes to choose from, the lovely location above the fog, and a casual approach. The rock is sharp and grippy with great routes for those who can climb 6b and above. Best conditions are in the fall when the fog layer hides the valley below. Winter can also be really nice. ”Zisler” and “Gartenalp” Sectors have added another 150 routes in the last few years. Well protected routes for children and beginners in a cozy spot ensure “Zisler” popularity. The “Gartenalp” sector is perfect in the summer: the left side of the wall stays in the shade until around 2:30pm and the right side until 4pm.
