Description

Fontaine Saint-Bernard is a easy 2-3 min approach crag that is well suitable for families and kids. The sector is situated on the flat forest bed with good paths and sparsely growing pinetrees here and there. The rocks are not super fast or slow drying. Some roofclimbs might not dry at all in the winter, so better to enjoy those only in the hot summerdays. Majority of the routes are under the shade of the trees.

Further sector Les Pentes du Marchais is combined on this page since the approach is the same and its only couple of routes that are very close to this sector. Les Pentes du Marchais blocks are situated in south side of the hill and dry quite fast. La Ruine dries really well and is situated a bit uphill so not stroller friendly, other easier lines are easily accessed with kids.

Fontaine Saint-Bernard / Les Pentes du Marchais

Climbing has been limited!

The forests of Fontainebleau, Trois Pignons and Commanderie remain closed to the public until further notice. The entire forest remains very vulnerable to fire risk.

We urge everyone to act responsibly and to be patient: do not enter the forest, do not go to the burned areas, and ensure that access routes for emergency vehicles remain clear.

Park same as for les Pentes du Marchais or Dame Jouanne. You can follow the sandy road for 70meters and turn left on the small uphill to access Lanceur d'Alerte. Other option on the parking lot is to go through the open gap in the fence on the green field just behind cars and follow the easy walk on a good path for 100 meters on a mellow uphill.
