Description
Views of the Eiger, Monch, and Jungfrau all day? Check. Easy-access multipitch? Check. Fun movements on varied holds? Yup.
About 25 climbs in the 5c - 7a range listed in Plaisir West, with some more hard stuff up the middle listed in Schweiz Extrem West. The setting and quality make it absolutely worth it a trip. Sharp, grippy limestone.

Getting There
From Interlaken, drive south towards Wilderswil and Lauterbrunnen. After leaving Wilderwils, turn left towards Lütschental.
Drive through Lütschental, and at the far end BEFORE the underpass beneath the railway, stop at the Hotel / Restaurant Stalden to buy a parking pass (10 CHF, 2018). Follow the signs towards Hintisberg, driving up from there for a while. Look for parking areas once you pass the gentle gate that you drive through - if you come to the end of the road with the bench, you've gone too far!
From the parking, walk towards a small, locked hut on the uphill side of the road. The trailhead is easy to spot there, and goes up and up and up to Hintisberg.
