Today a group us did the Via Ferrata in Whistler. I had no idea what to expect and it was so much fun! As someone who is pretty scared of heights I had great time and am so pleased I gave in and did it. Our guide Maya was the absolute best. So supportive, kind, encouraging and took me under her wing. Thank you Maya! The whole group really enjoyed the day, the views were beautiful and it was challenging but not as strenuous as I thought it would be. Phew! I felt very safe. Again, thanks to Maya for all her help.

An incredible experience that is a must try for all outdoor enthusiasts. First time visiting Whistler and found this gem of an experience. Never tried Via Ferrata before so it was all new for us. Victor, our tour guide, was very friendly and patient with everyone in our group. Explaining each step along the course, and filling us in on interesting facts about the area and pointing out geographic features of the area. We generally felt safe the entire trip and didn’t feel rushed. The lift requires a tickets so best to purchase it ahead of time to avoid delays. You first go up the Whistler gondola to the via Ferrata trail. Afterwards you have the option to do more trails at the top Whistler mountain or take the peak 2 peak gondola to Blackcomb mountain and explore that area. Keep in mind the earlier tour is better as it gives you time in the afternoon to enjoy and explore the mountain tops.

We did this as a private tour with our 11-year-old nephew and it was an AMAZING experience. The adrenalin rush, the conquering of fears, the feeling of accomplishment, the views. We want to give a HUGE shout-out to our guide, Rob: he was phenomenal! He was very patient with this old auntie ;) and a great teacher.

My partner wanted to do something outdoors, something challenging, and something that would provide great views of the surrounding area. We’ve tried a via ferrata route in Colorado before so we figured we would give the Whistler Via Ferrata tour a try. The weather was iffy but after speaking with Jonas and our guide, Jeremy, we decided to give it a go. It was definitely a good decision, the gondola ride up was cool, the hike to the start was a nice warm up and Jeremy shared a lot of interesting info on the area. After going over the safety information we headed up the mountain. It was challenging, beautiful and the weather turned out great! We felt safe and Jeremy did a great job guiding us.
