Rocher Hans

Rocher Hans is a granite formation located near Lac Blanc with sheer vertical walls and established hiking paths. The rock sits in a mountain landscape where multiple routes lead up and down, each offering different terrain and perspectives.

The granite formation developed through natural geological processes over millions of years. A Madonna statue was placed on the rock in 1977, linking the site to local stories about a lord called Hans and a castle from the region's past.

Local climbing enthusiasts maintain between 25 to 50 established routes ranging from 4b to 7c grades on the granite surfaces.

The ascent to the formation is steep and takes roughly 15 minutes, with certain sections secured by metal railings. Visitors should wear proper footwear and check conditions before visiting, especially during wet or snowy weather.

During winter months, ice waterfalls form on the rock face and rank among the tallest in the region. These frozen formations attract specialized climbers who can experience these rare conditions for only a few weeks each year.
