Central Switzerland offers climbing enthusiasts countless opportunities to experience nature in a new way - especially in Obwalden. Nestled between imposing mountain ranges and idyllic valleys, you will find a true paradise for climbers here.

When climbing on Melchsee-Frutt, you can not only enjoy the variety of rock formations and magnificent climbs, but also benefit from well-equipped abseiling routes.
The south-facing Boni rock band on Melchsee-Frutt offers you more than 170 varied climbing routes in difficulty levels 3a to 8. Thanks to the special geological structure of the rocks, you can experience climbing variations here that you will hardly find in this variety anywhere else. The wall heights range from 10 to 60 meters and the routes are optimally secured.
A course therefore provides the ideal basis for a safe and successful climbing experience. You will not only be taught the correct technique and knot theory, but also how to use the equipment and safety rules that are essential in practice.
The "Fruttli" via ferrata takes you to the summit of the Bonistock and offers you an impressive view of the high plateau. You will need a via ferrata set, a helmet, good footwear and gloves to tackle the via ferrata, which can be hired on site.
Here you will find the topos and locations of the five climbing areas in Melchtal with mainly multi-pitch routes (Ofen, Cheselen, Flüelibalm, Sportcamp, Stepfen) with over 120 routes.
Important:
You should ensure that you only use the climbing garden if you are trained in alpine climbing. It is also important to respect the flora and fauna, not to leave any garbage behind and to use the public toilet facilities at the entrance to the climbing garden. Do not change belays, equip yourself correctly and watch out for snow cornices above you in spring. Leave the wall if there is a risk of thunderstorms and do not loosen any rocks without ensuring that there are no people or animals at the foot of the wall.
