Bouldering at the Blausee: rock like in a science fiction film

The Italian Niky Ceria recently paid a visit to the Blausee bouldering area, accompanied by Mathieu Achermann from the climbing grip manufacturer Flathold. The result is a film about the area and the Italian professional boulderer.

Very close to Kandersteg, hidden in a fairytale forest, there is not only a crystal blue lake, but also numerous boulders that are unique with their drawings. The film Part of the Art shows the beauty of the place and the bouldering blocks from one side as we have never seen it before. Some of the images are reminiscent of scenes from a science fiction film.
