Via Ferrata Now Open!

We are pleased to announce that the Via Ferrata tour on Whistler mountain is now available. The Via Ferrata provides a unique and exhilarating climbing experience without the need for any special skills or knowledge. This tour is suitable for people of all ability levels. "Via Ferrata" is Italian for "Iron Way" and is an engineered vertical pathway with permanently fixed cables for protection and metal ladder rungs to ease your movement over the rock. This tour combines glacier hiking with mountain climbing. Negotiate your way across Whistler glacier using crampons and an ice axe to the base of the Via Ferrata route. Using a special lanyard system, guests clip onto the cable and climb the rock headwall using a series of ladder rungs that lead you to the summit of Whistler Peak. One of the first Via Ferrata's in Canada, it provides exhilarating views and a vertical perspective you may not have thought possible!
