Ice Climbing - Leysin
Leysin
Ice climbing, which is also called “ice cascading”, is a relatively unknown activity. As its name suggests, this activity consists in climbing naturally iced-over walls using ice axes and crampons. This sport, which is very dependent on the weather conditions, can be practised in Leysin in two ideally exposed sites.
