Half-Day Bouldering in Fontainebleau, near Paris

You can do that, yes. At the climbing gym "Karma" in Fontainebleau, the sports store "S'Cape Fontainebleau" in Fontainebleau, and the climbing gym "Le Rempart" in Vert-Saint-Denis, you may rent crash pads. Your guide will bring the crash pads you'll need and the chalk too for your 1/2-day tour.

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.

You might meet your guide at the train stations of Fontainebleau-Avon or Bois-le-Roi (30 minutes from Paris "Gare de Lyon") if you come by train.

If you come by car, you'll meet him close to the spot where you'll boulder.

The site your guide will select, will depend on your climbing expertise, your goals for this bouldering day with him, the weather/temperatures, and whether you have a car.

You would need your climbing shoes, appropriate climbing attire that is in line with the weather predictions, water, and food/snacks. The crash pads and the chalk are for your guide to bring.

If you don't have climbing shoes with you, you can rent some at the "Karma" climbing gym. It is located 2 minutes away from the train station. Your guide can drive there with you before starting the bouldering session if you come by train.

Children can of course climb in Fontainebleau. Based on their climbing level, their ages and wishes, your guide will choose the boulders you will climb.

If you come by train, you must either stop at the "Fontainebleau-Avon" station or the "Bois-le-Roi" station, based on the bouldering area your climbing guide will select. From Paris Gare de Lyon, the ride takes about 30 minutes. He'll pick you up there.

You can also travel by car. It is a simpler option because you can then meet directly at the bouldering spot I'll choose for this 1/2-day tour.

We’ll try to change the day if your guide considers that the weather won’t allow you to climb safely. Of course, this change will be based on your availability and his.

You could also go indoor climbing in one of the gyms in Paris or the climbing gym at Fontainebleau (you'll need to pay the entrance charge).

If none of these options work for you, you will receive a refund.

Absolutely. You can check out the details for the day tour here: https://www.explore-share.com/trip/1-day-bouldering-fontainebleau-france/. You'll be bouldering for 3 hours during the 1/2-day tour, and for 6 hours during the full-day tour.

We can also plan a multi-day bouldering tour together if you wish.

I’d suggest looking for accommodations in the region between Fontainebleau and Bois-le-Roi. This area offers a mix of hotels and Airbnbs, conveniently located near the bouldering sites. If you’re coming from Paris, you might also consider a day trip since the train ride is only 30 minutes.
