When do you decide whether the course will take place due to weather conditions?
We need dry rock to conduct the course. We will contact you 2–3 days before the course to provide an update. If the weather forecast is unstable, we may have to make a last-minute decision.

Do I need to attend the Basic Climbing Course first?
If you already have some experience in rock climbing and can comfortably lead climb at a 4th-grade level, you do not need to attend the Basic Climbing Course and can join the MSL Basic course directly.

What happens in bad weather, e.g., if it rains all day?
In case of bad weather, the course will either be held at an alternative location in Central Switzerland (Engelberg Valley, Sisikon Uri) or we will offer you a rescheduled date from our calendar.

What if I can’t attend any of the proposed rescheduled dates due to bad weather?
If none of the proposed dates work for you, we will refund your money. For this, we will need your IBAN, account holder's name, and postal code/town. Please send this information via email.
