200 meters of safety for ice climbers in the middle of an extremely steep slope

Where the old rockfall protection structure has reached the end of its useful life, the Volken Group is building a future-proof protective solution for the access road to Zen Eisten.

A massive protective embankment—200 meters long and up to 12 meters high—is pushing our professionals to their limits. The steep terrain presents #TeamVolken with major challenges every day. This is exactly where true Valais craftsmanship and smart problem-solving come into play.

We process the existing material right on site and reuse it safely. This way, we eliminate many transport trips and protect our precious mountain environment.

Experience and teamwork make our region a little safer every day.

What impresses you most about construction projects like these? The smart logistics or the hard work on rough terrain?
