Bernese Oberland

The Bernese Oberland: The Cradle of Alpine Climbing. Home to dramatic vertical relief – where lush valleys sit thousands of meters below glaciated 4,000-meter peaks – the Bernese Oberland in Switzerland offers world-class terrain for every vertical discipline.

This new Rockfax guidebook brings the region’s finest climbing together in one comprehensive volume, following the popular format of the Chamonix Rockfax. From sunny valley crags and scenic via ferratas to classic multi-pitch rock and the iconic alpine ridges and faces, this guide covers it all.

It will be published in print and digital later in 2026.

The book will cover sport climbing, via ferratas and alpine climbing. It is designed to be the general cover-all book for visitors wanting to sample the best this amazing area has to offer. All routes included have full information required to plan, approach and climb them. There are also pointers to other areas with local reference guides and websites mentioned.

The climbing is illustrated with full text descriptions, stunning photo-topos, wide overviews and detailed maps ( from the excellent Confédèration Suisse). The route information has been put together by author Tom Litchfield working in conjunction with local climbers and guides.
