We’ve been doing exhilarating excursions for decades. This went straight to the top of the list! My wife and I celebrated our 50th birthdays in style. It was certainly harder than we anticipated, but worth every bump and sore body part. Views are incredible, but the climbing experience is the true payoff. Pictures don’t do it justice. Our guides were great! Alex led us and a family of four with a couple of 13-14 year olds siblings. She met everyone’s individual safety needs while leading us on an exhilarating climb. I highly recommend!
Thank you for the wonderful review, and what an incredible way to celebrate your 50th birthdays. Looking forward to seeing you in your next adventure! MSAA

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you had a fun time on the Whistler Via Ferrata!
I would highly recommend doing the Via Ferrata in Whistler. Our guide Frazer was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful. We felt very safe being with someone so competent. Our group was small and we had the mountain and summit to ourselves. Unforgettable experience - thank you!!
Thank you for the review! We're so glad you enjoyed the Via Ferrata and had a great experience with Fraser. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words. Thanks for joining us, and we hope to see you again soon!
My sons and I had an amazing day climbing. Everything was explained and we felt very safe. Our guide, Jeremy was superb and clearly very experienced. Would definitely recommend this trip and this company.
We're so glad you had such an awesome time on the mountain with Jeremy. We hope to see you out in the mountains again!
Amazing,thrilling.our guide Jeremy was awesome! It was an overcast day but even though we couldn’t see far it was still spectacular
I'm so glad that even with an overcast day you still had an awesome time, thank you so much!
My husband, son and I did the Via Ferrata in Whistler and it was an incredible experience! My 13 year son is a rock climber and felt right at home on the wall, my husband is used to climbing ladders and also felt comfortable. I started to get a bit scared during the first major vertical section and our guide Maya was amazing to notice and then readjust the climbing order so she could be right next to me to help me up the wall. I definitely needed and appreciated her reassurance and she was able to put me more at ease and guide me up the wall. In the end, we had such a sense of accomplishment and really enjoyed the beautiful views. Maya was very experienced and knowledgeable in the glacier, surrounding lakes and rock formations. I would highly recommend this incredible adventure.
We had an amazing time climbing Whistler Via Ferrta. Our guide Maya Kakizaki was fun,personal and professional we truly enjoyed having her taking us through this experience. This is an adventure worth while taking!
I'm so stoked you had such an awesome time with Maya on the mountain! Thanks for your review.
The tour guide Maya was absolutely fantastic. Excursion was top-notch and if you have the physical strength to do, it would recommend to anyone willing to spend four hours to climb the side of Whistler Mountain. Would recommend gloves to keep the calluses off your hands but other than that great overall experience. Apparently, the tour in the morning is actually hotter than the one in the afternoon due to the position of the sun so keep that in mind when booking.
Thanks for your hot tips and tricks! And the wonderful review, I'm so glad you enjoyed your experience on Whistler Mountain with Maya!
Excellent adventure! Great time climbing up the mountain via the ladders. Our guide, Nicholas was awesome! We felt safe and he was full of great information about the area. Super fun! Highly recommend!
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you had an excellent adventure, Nic will be pleased to hear this. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure
My sons really enjoyed the Via Ferrata. Jeremy was a great guide, and they said the route was accessible with wonderful views. I wish I had gone with them. It was also lovely to receive some free photos afterwards, as they didn't want to risk taking out their phones.
We’re glad your sons had such a great time with Jeremy and enjoyed the views Kate! Hopefully you can join them on the next adventure
