Half day guided via ferrata in the Canmore region
Join Brent, an IFMGA-certified guide, for this half day exploration of Canada’s only publicly available via ferrata route!
Description
Explore the mountains in a new and exciting way with this half day via ferrata excursion in the Canadian Rockies!
While via ferratas are commonly found in the mountains of Europe, in Canada they are rather rare. In fact, there is only one publicly available via ferrata in the whole country, and during this half day program I will make sure you take full advantage of all it has to offer! We will spend a half day (approximately 3-4 hours) using a series of ladders, rungs and cables to make our way up a sheer cliff of 200m. During this unique experience, you will get to practice the mountaineering skills, as well as learn new techniques. Intermediate and advanced routes are available!
Please note that the via ferrata is 2.5 hours away from Canmore by car. We will provide all via ferrata equipment so that all you need to worry about is personal gear and clothes. A complete gear list can be provided upon request, but you should bring layers for colder temperatures, rain gear, and sunscreen, and sturdy hiking boots. Lunch can be provided for an additional cost, and water is not included.
Book now and we will have a fun half-day adventure in the mountains around Canmore as we explore Canada’s only public via ferrata!
