Via Ferrata

Climbing

As a complete novelty, Leukerbad offers the breathtaking “Gemmiwand” to climbers. With uncountable carbines and hundreds of meters of ropes and ladders the climbing wall was built in autumn 1998. It’s a must for every moutainlover to go for this great trip. Our local mountain guides are pleased to take you for this adventure.
