Crossing the Kreuzberge VII to V

Impressive and excellent ridge climbing over three Kreuzberge mountains high above the Rhine Valley.

Technics

Endurance

The eight Kreuzberge mountains are impressive limestone towers high above the Rhine Valley. A lot of alpine history was made here! We take on the traverse from the saddle between Kreuzberg VIII and VII and start with the west ridge (3c) on our first Kreuzberg. After abseiling twice, we reach the next notch and from here climb the VI Kreuzberg (4a). The descent leads impressively over the "thumb" to the rock window. The surroundings here are simply brilliant! If there is enough time, we will also tackle the next tower. Once again, excellent ridge climbing in the best rock leads up and, with a few abseils, into the next notch. A very impressive tour, always in adventurous terrain! Depending on the participants, we organise the ascent via Sargans and a car ride to Alp Chapf or by e-bike from Wildhaus.
