At the top of the gondola, the guide will outfit you with a harness and helmet. The group then hikes for 30-45 minutes across the base of the glacier.

Incredible experience!

Published on Sep, 2024

What an amazing day! It was our first time doing via ferrata. Our guide Jeremy was incredibly knowledgeable about the landscape and surrounding mountain ranges. He made us feel safe and supported through the entire experience. If you’re thinking about going, just do it!

Amazing Intro to Via Ferrata with an amazing guide (Victor)

Published on Sep, 2024

We have always wanted to get introduced to mountain climbing and the Via Ferrata was a great introductory experience set against the majestic Howe Sound with the mountains in the background. Our guide Victor was amazing throughout - he made sure to explain everything in detail (wearing of the harnesses and how to use the carabiners on the different Via Ferrata cables etc.) and he did it all with a smile and a wonderful personality. I would highly recommend doing the Via Ferrata experience - it's adventurous and you get the great views all in one place :)

A walk in the clouds

Published on Aug, 2024

We took a walk in the clouds. It was an overcast day, just bad luck in August. The Via Ferrata was still fun and our guide, Emile, was awesome and kept us going and entertained throughout the experience. We felt safe and had fun.

Via Ferrata fan

Published on Aug, 2024

I love a good via ferrata experience and this certainly was one. If you've never tried it and have an adventurous spirit, give it a go. If you have tried others, this stacks up nicely. I've done a couple in the Swiss Alps where they are super popular and I would consider this a K3 (difficult) on the Husler scale which goes to K6. Some of the popular Swiss routes include some really interesting features like cable bridges, twisting ladders, tyrolean traverses, and zip lines. This route doesn't feature stuff like that, at least not yet. It would really be cool if they expanded their operation so that it did. Another difference is that most Swiss routes are typically unguided, but that is just not an option here. Our guide, Jess, was great. She shared some local wisdom and made sure everyone was safe and comfortable in their surroundings. I would highly recommend this adventure.

Nicolas was a great guide!

Published on Aug, 2024
