Gross Schijen (UR) 2786 m Alpine climbing
Climbing on the Gross Schijen: Very beautiful granite.
A great classic tour is provided by the South Ridge. There are various well bolted multi-pitch routes as well as lesser-bolted 'clean climbing' routes, plus two accessible "climbing gardens" - the area offers something for everyone.
Access is quite straightforward thanks to the military road from Nätschen to Grossboden / Gütsch (toll charge). Also from the train station on the Oberalppass all routes can be reached in just over an hour.
