Via Ferrata – Full Day

Overview

The Via Ferrata offers an exhilarating mountain climbing experience along the dramatic granite faces of Rendezvous Mountain. Guided by expert professionals, you'll navigate a series of rungs, cables and suspension bridges that make scaling the rock both accessible and exciting for a range of skill levels. As you ascend, you'll be treated to sweeping views of the Teton Range and the valley below, combining adrenaline and scenery in one unforgettable alpine adventure.

: The Via Ferrata is a multi-hour active adventure involving both hiking and climbing. Most routes take 1 - 2 hours of consistent climbing to complete.

Advanced: High level of physical fitness (works out 4+ days/week); strong upper and lower body; no fear of heights or exposure
Guests will check in at the Mountain Sports office, a 5 minute walk from the Resort, then ride up to the Via Ferrata climbing area on the Bridger Gondol.
