BEST Excursion Ever!

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!

Operator response

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

Spectacular!!

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!!

Incredible Experience with an Knowledgable and Reassuring Guide

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.
