Totem Climbing Meyrin

A large climbing hall designed for families

Nestled in Meyrin, in the canton of Geneva, the Totem hall is one of the largest bouldering spaces (rope-free climbing on walls a few meters high with large mats on the ground) in the region. The place has been designed to mix generations: parents climb on routes suitable for all levels while the younger ones explore their own space. The atmosphere is warm, wood is everywhere, and people come here as much for the sport as for the pleasure of being together.

What your children will discover

Your children will especially love the area dedicated to them: colorful walls at their height, playful passages, and a secure play area to climb, jump, and expend energy with confidence. For the little ones, climbing becomes a field of awakening: they learn to coordinate their movements, find their balance, and dare a little more with each attempt. The older ones quickly take a liking to the challenge: finding the right path to the top, trying again, progressing.

What to do there and the atmosphere on site

You arrive, put on climbing shoes (available for rent on site), and you dive in. The hall offers free access, but also courses and workshops supervised by instructors for children, parent-child sessions for the little ones, and birthday packages to celebrate while climbing. In terms of atmosphere, the large central bar allows parents to take a breather between climbs while the children continue to have fun within sight. This is one of the advantages of the place: you can easily alternate between sport, breaks, and play.
