On site

No Road Access, Only the Cable Car

The municipality describes Bettmeralp on its website as a well-known tourist resort at 1948 metres, reachable only by cable car. This means that neither a crane nor a scaffolding vehicle can drive directly to a property in the village.

Material also cannot be brought up there at short notice by van. I therefore plan exactly what I need for the installation and take it up by cable car, with nets travelling as freight.

On site

Installed by Rope, Material Bundled in Advance

Because neither a crane nor a lifting platform can get up to Bettmeralp, I plan bird deterrence installations there using rope access technique. Bird deterrence in Upper Valais describes the choice of system in general. For Bettmeralp, I also bundle the required material before travelling up.

I coordinate the installation date with the cable car's operating hours, and anyone who arranges this early gets the work done in a single day where possible. For a particular facade, I check beforehand whether the municipality's building or police regulations (Bau- oder Polizeireglement) apply, rather than assuming a permit is required as a blanket rule. How I proceed on a different type of building is shown on the page about Bird deterrence on flat roofs in Fiesch.
