About Sanetsch

The high-altitude limestone above Lake Sénin, just north of the Sanetsch pass between Valais and Bern at ~2200m. Rock is solid, rough limestone with abundant water-carved features ('gouttes d'eau') on south-facing walls — steep, airy, spectacular multi-pitch alongside short single-pitch cragging. The Rémy brothers opened Au Bord du Vide here in 1982. Access split by season: the Col du Sanetsch road from Sion (south) is closed early November to end of May, but a cable car from Gsteig (north) runs all year — a rare year-round Alpine limestone option. Approach 15-20 minutes from the car park.
