Fontainebleau Bouldering

The Forest of Fontainebleau is a mecca for boulderers from all over the world. Only 90km south of Paris, this well known bouldering area impresses everyone with its beauty, charm and variety of boulders. The bouldering quality is world class. The Fontainebleau bouldering suits all styles, abilities and experience levels. So it has everything from small boulders to let the children explore in complete safety to all the slabs, aretes, overhangs and mantels that you could wish for of every grade. Another amazing feature of the bouldering in Fontainebleau is that there are so many areas in such a small area. You can go here year after year and never climb the same problem twice.

Weather & Climate in Fontainebleau

The best time of year to go bouldering in Fontainebleau can vary depending on what you like. In the winter months the weather gives good friction but chances are that it will rain when you're there. In the summer there is little chance of rain but the friction on the harder problems isn't as good. Spring and Autumn is the when the majority of climbers go to Font. It is a balancing act - just like the locals will tell you about the climbing!!
