Experience Whistler glacier hiking and mountain climbing, for beginners!
Whether you are a keen hiker or rock climber, or just visiting Whistler, BC and looking for a fun summer activity, we can take you on an unforgettable summer adventure.

Summer in Whistler and the Sea to Sky corridor is incredibly beautiful - especially in the mountains. Come and enjoy the abundant activity in the Whistler area mountains with us this summer.
Whistler's most exciting adventure! Experience this unique and exhilarating climbing excursion to the summit of Whistler Peak. "Via Ferrata" is Italian for "Iron Way" and is an engineered vertical pathway with permanently fixed cables for protection and metal ladder rungs to ease your movement over the rock. This tour combines glacier hiking with mountain climbing. Your guide will give you detailed instructions on use of equipment and technique for ascending. Negotiate your way across Whistler glacier using crampons and an ice axe to the base of the Via Ferrata route. Using a special lanyard system you will clip yourself onto the cable and climb the rock headwall using a series of ladder rungs that lead you to the summit of Whistler Peak.
The first of its kind in Canada, Whistler Via Ferrata provides exhilarating views and a vertical perspective you may not have thought possible! Climbing a Via Ferrata does not require any special skills or prior experience. This thrilling activity is suitable for guests of all abilities. All technical equipment is included.
