Chicken Egg – General Information
Bouldering at the Chicken Egg Area
Public Transportation Stop
Bus stop “Mitholz-Balmhorn” or “Blausee”.
Parking/Driving Directions
There are parking lots at the Restaurant Balmhorn,
the old train station in Mitholz, and at the
Blausee Nature Park.
Approach
Ca. 15 minutes walking distance from Mitholz or
Blausee.
From Mitholz or Blausee, walk along the street
until the long curve through the forest. From
there, follow a small logging road to a logging
lot. Walk towards the lot but turn left on a barelydiscernible
trail up the hill on the left. Once on the
hill, follow the ridgeline for some 150 meters and
you will see the first boulders.
Ground / Children
The landing area is flat or slightly sloping forest.
A small number of boulders have poor landing
areas. This area is not ideal for families. The forest
is thick and there are hardly bouldering options
for children.

Additional Information
The owners of the Restaurant Balmhorn, Dirk
and Nicole, have kindly allowed boulderers to
use the restaurant parking lot. Please stop by and
get something to drink or eat when you are done
climbing.
Seasonal Information
The boulders lie on a hill in the forest. As long as
the trees are bare, there is a lot of sun. Except for
in the depths of winter, you can climb all year.
The best time is spring, summer or autum.
Area Character
There is a little bit of everything. The boulders
vary in size from M to XXL.
