Ice climbing Sertig
Show all 9 images
Climbing a naturally frozen waterfall with an ice axe and crampons in the idyllic side valley Sertig near Davos definitely provides a unique experience.
Details
Description
The frozen waterfall in Sertig is mainly suitable for multi-pitch routes with a length of 150 to 180 climbing meters. The difficulty levels vary from easy (WI 3) to very challenging (WI 5). That means: there is a suitable route for every climbing level here. Ice climbing beginners should ideally be accompanied by a mountain guide.
Hidden Gem
For a refreshment after ice sport climbing, the Hotel Walserhuus invites you with regional cuisine.
Safety Note
Rockfall and spontaneous avalanches can occur at any time. Icefall can also happen during high traffic.
Equipment
Compared to normal rock climbing, additional equipment is required. This includes ice screws, rope-mounted ice axes, special crampons, and gloves with good grip. If you are missing anything for ice climbing, you can rent it locally in Davos at the sporting goods store Fullmoons.
Directions
From the parking lot at Hotel Walserhuus follow the path to the last bridge before the waterfall. Over the bridge and up the slope directly to the starts (about 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on whether the path is already tracked).
