The entrance to the climbing garden takes place after approx. one hour hiking time from the mountain station Fürenalp at 2200 meters above sea level. Optimal even on mild winter days! With over 46 routes in the difficulty levels 3c to 7a the climbing area Wissberg offers a lot of variety. The rock is rough, handy and of maximum quality. Some of the routes offer tricky climbing on beautiful limestone structures and over slabs. The area Wissberg - Fürenalp is registered in the book outdoor Guide Engelberg or in the climbing guide Plaisir Ost.
Author’s recommendation
Pure relaxation awaits you in the Fürenalp mountain restaurant. Let us spoil you. The overnight stay on Fürenalp is also a special experience. Extend your climbing day and overnight stay to 1850 m above sea level in the mountain room or in the alpine hut.
