To add more fun, but also to encourage them to climb, once they reach the top of the wall, the slide waits for them to come back down in complete safety. Tested and approved!

When climbing is fun for everyone

The aim of rock climbing is to develop your strength and power on your own, without any equipment other than slippers, which you can rent on site, and for more experienced people, to gain the confidence to then set out to rock climb in nature. Every month, all blocks are renewed, so you can challenge yourself and surpass yourself endlessly if you wish.
