Bimano bouldering hall

Dear Guests,

From the current corona situation, we now have to limit the number of people present on our site. The seats in the restaurant are reduced to 40 people and the entrance for bouldering / skating must be limited (100 people in total). So: we ask you to register at the entrance and indicate in which area you go (restaurant / playground + skate / bouldering). Accordingly, a deregistration must take place when going out. We are working on a solution how you can view the current number of guests online so that you do not come for nothing. Until then, you can inquire by phone.

Merci for helping and understanding in any circumstances.
See you soon!

Climbing hall magnet

We take into account the Federal Council regulation of March 13, 2020 and the associated recommendations so that the MAGNET can remain open.

The MAGNET team is convinced that we can guarantee the prescribed rules of conduct, such as compliance with hygiene measures and, above all, the appropriate distance for the size of the MAGNET.

From now on, no more than 100 people may be in the climbing hall at the same time and we will ensure this with our previous and proven personal entrance control.

All courses take place (excl. Unisport, see Unisport homepage)
We will inform you about other possible measures such as possibly limiting the climbing time to 4 hours during peak times or special additional time windows.

We trust in your own responsibility and cooperation in complying with the recommendations of the Federal Council and the Federal Office of Public Health.

Bouldering hall B2

Dear friends

Last Friday we decided to close the B2 until Monday. Because of the rapid spread of the corona virus and the new regulations on the part of the federal government, it was the only right decision for us.

We needed time to think about how to proceed and to wait and see what additional measures the canton will work out. It was important to us not just to adopt a new target, but to think about what contribution we can make so that the health system is not overloaded.

The situation has worsened drastically in the past two days. The number of new infections is rising rapidly and the healthcare system is under increasing pressure.

Anything other than a temporary closure does not make sense to us and we therefore welcome the decision of the canton of Basel-Landschaft that all entertainment venues must stop operating. This applies from March 16 to April 30, 2020. During this time, the B2 remains temporarily closed.

These are drastic measures in difficult times and it is now up to all of us to slow down the spread of the virus so that the hospitals can be relieved and lives can be saved.

We will develop solutions for our customers with a subscription.

Please take care of yourself and each other.

Stay healthy!
Your B2

Dear customers

Bouldering hall minimum

The minimum bouldering hall is temporarily closed from Saturday, March 14.3.20th, XNUMX!

The minimum restaurant will be temporarily closed from March 17.3.20th, XNUMX!

The reason:
The corona virus is currently spreading so rapidly that hospitals and the health system are being overloaded. To prevent this, the hygiene measures previously prescribed are no longer sufficient.

A bouldering hall is somehow a mixture of club and fitness center, moreover, the operation is like a major event at peak times. Logical that the only effective help is the complete closure of the hall for a certain time.

Until when is it still completely unclear ... Should anything change in the situation, we communicate this immediately on all channels.

We thank you for your understanding and wish everyone a lot of serenity and health.
