Schweiz Extrem West Band 2 is a detailed topo guidebook showcasing a curated selection of challenging multi-pitch routes graded F6a and above across the Western Swiss Alps around Interlaken. Covering an extensive area that stretches from Fribourg through the Bernese Oberland to Vaud, and including selected venues in Valais, the guide focuses on some of Switzerland’s most impressive alpine climbing. In total, 43 crags are featured, with an emphasis on long, adventurous multi-pitch routes on high-quality rock. Notable areas include world-renowned faces such as the Eiger, Wendenstöcke (Wenden), Petit Clocher du Portalet, Gastlosen, Gross Bielenhorn, Klein Bielenhorn, and the Graue Wand.

Each route is presented on clear, full-colour topo diagrams, with pitch-by-pitch French grades provided. The guide uses intuitive symbols to indicate the necessary rock protection—highlighting when traditional gear is required—alongside key details such as altitude, aspect, and route character. Every region begins with a detailed location map, approach notes, and GPS coordinates for parking, helping climbers plan efficiently.

Published in May 2025, Schweiz Extrem West Band 2 is written in both German and English and serves as an essential reference for experienced climbers seeking Switzerland’s most demanding and rewarding alpine routes.
