Bouldering is a form of climbing carried out on low rock faces or indoor climbing walls without the use of ropes or harnesses. Climbers focus on short, technical routes that rely on strength, balance and problem-solving, with padded mats typically used to help reduce the impact of falls.
ActivitySure can cover bouldering when youre taking part abroad. Although its usually done at lower heights than roped climbing, falls can still occur, so its important to make sure your travel insurance is suitable for this type of activity before you climb.

Destination Insight
Bouldering is enjoyed worldwide, with several destinations recognised for their natural climbing areas. Fontainebleau in France is one of the sports most famous locations, while Bishop in California is well known for its granite boulders and established climbing routes. Indoor bouldering gyms are also widely available in major cities such as London, Berlin and Tokyo, making it a popular year-round activity for travellers.
Many people take part casually during a trip, either outdoors or at indoor climbing centres.
Bouldering involves climbing without ropes, which increases the likelihood of falls and impact injuries. Sprains, fractures and joint injuries can occur, particularly when landing awkwardly or misjudging a move. Having appropriate travel insurance in place helps protect you financially if you need medical treatment while abroad.
