CORVATSCH CLIMBING

Dear Ice Climbers Please study and heed the following regulations. Only if everyone complies with these rules can be guaranteed on the Corvatsch on a long-term basis.

• When or securing, only use the safety systems provided. Do not secure any ropes to the railings! • Before starting to climb/abseil, carefully study the photograph depicting the pitch safety systems. • Ice climbing/abseiling is at your own risk. Once you have climbed over the railings, you are in open terrain and thus exposed to all the high-alpine risks that go with it. No liability whatsoever is accepted. • Take into account the high-alpine altitude of 3,303 metres above sea level. Judging the weather conditions, the risk of falling rocks/ice or of avalanches, etc., requires considerable experience. Be aware of the wind conditions and new . • It is possible that snow from the terrace and other platforms is disposed of in the direction of the ice wall. • Note the aerial cableway operating times: the last cable car departs at 16:52 or 17:12 (from approx. mid February). • In the event of emergency, contact Swiss Air-Rescue, Rega (emergency tel. 1414). The piste rescue service operated by Corvatsch AG is not trained to deal with rescues on the ice wall and cannot come to your aid. • Corvatsch AG and Go Vertical GmbH do not accept any liability whatsoever for accidents and/or their conse- quences, or for any other undesirable incidents that occur on the Corvatsch ice wall.

We hope you enjoy ice climbing on the Corvatsch, with its spectacular panoramic views. Corvatsch AG

The ice wall on the Corvatsch was realised and constructed in collaboration with the mountain sports experts at Go Vertical GmbH. Corvatsch AG and Go Vertical GmbH disclaim all liability.
