Safety
Climbing is a fun, yet a tricky sport and might cause some injuries when not practiced in a safe environment. This is why our gym is equipped with the most advanced safety equipment available.
Flooring
One More Life
One More Life is innovative flooring solution for indoor top-rope and lead climbing walls that prevents severe injuries or death in the event of a fall from up to 16.5m / 54ft. Our gym is equipped with such flooring in Atrium 3.
Boulder mats
The boulder area is covered with 40 cm boulder mat from Climbmat, developed and tested according international safety standards (AS 2316.1; NF P90-311, EN 12572-2) and provides safety falling from height of up to 4,5 meters.
Rope wall mats
Our rope wall mats feature a thick layer of polyurethane foam in a combination of a closed cell carpet bonded foam. They provide good protection for falls of up to 3 m.
Autobelays
OnBelay
OnBelay is air over hydraulic hydro-pneumatic automatic belay device that eliminates the need of a belayer. The device automatically retracts the cable during ascend and controls the speed during descend or in the event of a fall.
Belay sensor
The Belay Sensor is a safety system for climbing walls. It activates and rings a loud alarm whenever someone not attached to a belay device starts climbing. The sensors are located at the height equal to the first quickdraw i.e. 3 meters. This way the gym staff can quickly spot the climber and help him/her get down safely. Or even better – they usually realize what’s wrong and are low enough to be able to down climb themselves.
Route setting
Route setting is what makes or breaks a gym, so we take it very seriously.
That is why our team works very hard to provide new routes every 2 weeks. The setters are some of the best that Bulgaria offers. Moreover, a few times a year we have international setters coming to offer new experiences. Working very close with volumes and holds manufacturers, we have access to the best and latest sets from all over the world.
Walltopia Climbing Center is home of the tallest indoor climbing wall in Bulgaria.

Frequently asked questions
I've never tried climbing. Can I come in and climb?
With your and everyone else’s safety in mind, we require that beginners who have never tried climbing before should first take a class in climbing basics – safety and basic climbing technique. This can be done as an individual training with an instructor at the price of 76 lv per person (including entrance fee). Advance booking is required, please call +359 888 038 835.
Learn more about our climbing classes and courses here.
Can kids come climbing?
Climbing is very natural for children, and we are more than happy to help train new and young climbers. Our experience shows that climbing is a great activity for kids from the age of 3. For the youngest (between 3 and 6 years old) the most suitable are the walls and climbing programs designed especially for little ones at Climb Academy. Check them out here or contact our colleagues from the academy at office@climbacademy.eu or +359 888 038 835.
Older children (6+ years old) can visit the big hall in group trainings for children, individual trainings with an instructor or with an adult with experience in climbing (which we will have to check). Learn more here.
For all young climbers aged 6 to 18, a parent or guardian is required to sign a declaration, which you can complete online here or on site in the gym.
Do you do kids birthday parties?
Oh yeah! And it’s a lot of fun!
We make birthday parties for the little ones at Climb Academy, and also in the big climbing hall for children over 6-7 years old.
The options are birthday packages lasting 2 hours (1 hour of games and fun challenges based on climbing plus 1 hour of food and drinks in the party room), or 1 hour of climbing in the big hall and food and drinks that you can organize in our restaurant Climbar&Dinner .
Pre-registration and deposit required, call us for more information at +359 888 038 835.
If you haven’t heard of Funtopia, now is the time to tell you that they organize amazing birthdays with climbing, jumping, ninja courses, escape room, slides and trampolines! Check out the Funtopia birthday packages.
Can I climb by myself or do I need a partner to climb or take a class?
Yes – you can climb by yourself or take a single class with an instructor. Climbing is a sport that enhances mindfulness as it requires all your attention and presence in the moment leaving no room for daily struggles. Climbing also is a very social sport that creates a great community over a common interest and challenge. Come and try yourself.
