Where to climb Brittany

We've been waiting for a climbing gym near Lorient! It's a very, very pleasant surprise. The space is large, airy and bright. The routes are changed regularly. You can choose between bouldering and roped routes. If you're a beginner, you can also take lessons. The little ones haven't been forgotten either, as there's a play area for children aged 3 and over. The bouldering area is open to children aged 7 and over. In all, 120 m² are dedicated to the very young!

Block Out is an atypical climbing gym because here you climb without a belay system. The boulders are 4.50 m high with large safety mats on the ground. Moreover, every month, the routes are redesigned and the holds are changed. In addition to being a climbing school, Block Out is also a playground open to all. The complex also has a gym, a sauna and a restaurant with an outdoor terrace serving pizza, burgers or homemade meals! A good idea to combine sport, leisure and conviviality.

Modjo, an independent gym run by experienced enthusiasts, and its big bear deserve your full attention. The routes, which are redefined every week, are always interesting to tackle. Climbers exchange tips with each other and the atmosphere is great. The 500^m2 climbing area includes an 8-metre-high rope wall with 11 lanes. As for the rest, bouldering to a maximum height of 4.50 meters is practiced without any special equipment, apart from adapted shoes. The hall is interesting with its 14 levels, and there's even an area dedicated to 4-6 year-olds. Courses and workshops are available to help you progress. Plus: systematic briefs! On-site facilities include a restaurant serving good food and a body-building area. Beware, you'll soon be hooked!

This large climbing gym, located in Les Capucins, is a concept and a place of life in its own right. You will be accompanied by qualified instructors who will find a formula that suits your level. Climb up is also 1,200 m² of rope walls, and up to more than 16 m high for strong sensations! A 450 m² bouldering room offers several levels of difficulty. A children's area and a fun climbing section are also accessible. Once your climbing session is over, you can relax in the sauna, have a snack with a coffee.

Transformed into an ephemeral space until an unknown date, the former Hôtel-Dieu hospital is home to a bouldering gym, i.e. climbing without insurance on a half-high structure above thick padded mats. Suitable for all, experienced or inexperienced, you'll have to make your way to the top using holds whose colors match your route (and your level!). The experience is constantly renewed by a regular change of boulders, and you can also take a course if you feel you need to. Coffee shop on site.

The concept of this climbing gym is interesting: to offer an urban space for leisure and freedom. Located right in the center of town, it's open to all, whether you want to let off steam on a rainy afternoon, or enjoy more regular climbing lessons or free climbing. Housed in over 1,200 m² of former industrial premises, the Maison de l'escalade pour tous offers several areas, including one reserved for children under 6. There's no need for harnesses or ropes here, just bouldering on walls no more than 4.50 m high, in complete safety thanks to mats designed to catch any falls. An instructor is on hand to give you practical advice on your first visit. The whole area is bright and well thought-out, so there's something for everyone. There's also a store and a small restaurant.
