1+ day Bouldering in Fontainebleau, France

Yes, it’s possible. You can rent crashpads at:

• the “Karma” climbing gym in Fontainebleau

• “S'Cape Fontainebleau” sport’s shop in Fontainebleau

• “Le Rempart” climbing gym in Vert-Saint-Denis

For the day that you'll spend with the guide, he'll bring the crashpad (s) you'll need, as well as the chalk.

You can join a group for a ½-day bouldering tour!

These tours usually take place on Sundays at 10am. Check the JOIN A GROUP section for upcoming group dates.

Group Size:

• Minimum climbers: 2 (for a guaranteed departure)

• Maximum climbers: 4

Please note, the tour will be canceled if the minimum number of participants is not reached two days prior to the scheduled date. In such cases, you can choose to convert your booking to a private session, postpone to another group date, or receive a refund.

Price: €150 per person (includes the guiding fee, crash pads, and chalk).

Meeting Point: Bois le Roi Train Station (approximately 30 minutes from Paris' Gare de Lyon). Please note that the guide cannot wait more than 10 minutes for late arrivals to ensure a quality experience for those on time. The guide will depart with participants who arrive punctually, and unfortunately, latecomers will not be able to join. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

If you don’t have a car, you can meet the guide either at the train station of Fontainebleau-Avon or the one of Bois-le-Roi (30min ride from Paris, “Gare de Lyon”). It will depend on where we’ll go bouldering.

If you have a car, you'll meet him close to the bouldering site, which he'll decide based on your climbing experience, your wishes for this bouldering day together, and the weather/temperatures.

You should have with you:

• your climbing shoes

• comfortable clothes suitable to climb with what the weather forecast says

• water

• food/snacks.

The guide will take care of bringing the crash pads and the chalk.

If you don't have climbing shoes, worry not! The 'Karma' climbing gym, located just 2 minutes away from the train station, offers rental shoes. Your guide can make a quick stop there before starting the bouldering session.

Absolutely. The guide will choose the boulders you will climb based on their climbing level, their ages and wishes. The guide loves instructing the kids.

You can come by train from Paris, you’ll need to stop either at the "Fontainebleau-Avon" station or the one of "Bois-le-Roi". It is an approximately 30-min ride from Paris (from Gare de Lyon). Your guide will pick you up there.

You can of course come by car as well. It's the easier and the most flexible.

If the guide considers that the weather won’t allow you to climb safely, he'll try to change the day, based on your availabilities and his. You could also go and climb indoor in the climbing gym of Fontainebleau or one of the gyms in Paris (you’ll need to cover the entrance fee). If these alternatives are not possible, you’ll get a refund.

Yes, of course. You’ll find the details for the 1/2 day tour here: https://www.explore-share.com/trip/half-day-bouldering-in-fontainebleau-near-paris/. You'll be bouldering for 3 hours during the 1/2-day tour, and 6 hours during the full-day tour.

We can also plan a multi-day bouldering tour.

If you’re planning to stay overnight, I’d recommend exploring options in the area between Bois-le-Roi and Fontainebleau. You’ll find plenty of choices, including Airbnb rentals and hotels. For travelers coming from Paris, keep in mind that Fontainebleau is only a short 30-minute train ride away, which is also great for day trips.
