Aerial view of Le Bourget Sport Climbing Venue.

The Bourget Sport Climbing Venue is built especially for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. It will host the climbing events (combined bouldering and speed). It will be located in the new Sports Park of Le Bourget and will last only the time of the event.

The Wall should be installed a few days before the Olympic events. A grandstand of 6,000 people will be installed to accommodate spectators. The training of the athletes will take place in the new gymnasium designed near the Wall.

Information on the opening schedule and the address of the site will be communicated soon.

"The temporary climbing walls could be reused once the events are over, in sites to be determined, for the benefit of local populations, clubs and associations."


The inclusion of sport climbing in the Olympic Games illustrates the fresh approach that Paris 2024 would like to add to its Games. Showcasing a modern sport, practiced in an area with a young population, to promote participation in it as widely as possible. Looking well beyond the Paris 2024 Games, this facility represents a response to a need and an expectation in the Seine-Saint-Denis area.

Five climbing walls will be used during the Games: an indoor wall, for warming up, and four outdoor walls, with three for competition events (speed, bouldering and lead combined) and the last one set aside for competitors to warm up.

The indoor facilities will provide a lasting legacy for the Games, in a department that has a major shortage of sports facilities (ranked 103rd out of 105 departments).

Capacity: 6,000 people; 3,000 seated; 3,000 standing.
