27. Ice Climbing World Cup

The ice climbing competitions in the parking garage of Saas-Fee are an excellent opportunity to experience national and international top athletes as well as the lively atmosphere of the ice climbing scene up close!

The competitions will take place in a special, unique location that surely won't be found a second time. The 10-story parking garage in Saas-Fee, where the competitions can occur independently of the weather, provides a fantastic backdrop for spectators with its rotunda.
