About
The Via Ferrata is a unique experience that falls somewhere between scrambling and technical rock climbing, something like a ropes course up a cliff. While it is physically demanding, the system of cables and ladders allow even non-experienced climbers to ascend the 600 foot tall cliff. All you need is to have good fitness and at least a passing ability to deal with heights.
Guests, accompanied by KMAC guides, are secured to the pathway system of anchored steel cables as they ascend using natural rock features, ladders, and steel steps. While you ascend, you’ll enjoy stunning vistas of Rocky Mountain National Park and the surrounding valley typically only reserved for rock climbers!
Via Ferrata means “Iron Path,” originating from the metal ladders and cables used by the Italian military in WWI to ascend and traverse steep rock and mountain terrain. Via ferratas are an extremely popular sport in the European Alps and now you can experience that thrill here in Estes Park, Colorado!
The Via Ferrata routes offer different levels of challenge and can cover up to 600 feet of vertical climbing. It is a perfect activity for building a team and group.
The Via Ferrata can be enjoyed by individuals, couples, families, and groups young and old. It’s the perfect way to share in a unique climbing adventure. We can even adjust the level of difficulty based on your adrenaline wishes! Please contact us if party members are below the age of 12 and we can program your outing to include them.
No previous rock climbing experience is necessary to ascend the Via Ferrata. Get this checked off your bucket list now and take the whole family!
