Bouldering and Climbing with Kids
From soft play zones to World Cup-worthy climbing walls – in the Kinderregion, kids lace up their climbing shoes and scale their way into adventure.
Read moreClimbing over chaos: Got a little one bursting with energy? In the Kinderregion, all that get-up-and-go gets redirected vertically. Even two-year-olds can scale bouldering walls, crawl through cave tunnels, or hang upside down on traverses.
While the big kids brave free-fall elements in the ropes course or test their skills on a World Cup-worthy climbing wall, little monkeys conquer play towers, mini grottos, and colorful holds. And because parents deserve a breather too, many spots offer cafés, playgrounds, and drop-off classes to keep everyone happy.
