• Mount Norquay Via Ferrata: Ridgewalker Route (4 Hours) 
  

This four-hour Ridgewalker Route allows climbers to go further than the Explorer Route. This route will let the climbers experience sheer vertical drops as they traverse the Memorial, Sunrise and Vista buttresses. As this is a guided experience no climbing experience is necessary. On this excursion highlights include open air chairlift ride, climbing a rock face, viewing boardwalk, and sightseeing platform. This excursion is designed to accommodate both beginners seeking a taste of the alpine and those who already have a little alpine experience. This four-hour loop takes you up to 2,300 metres above sea level and is great for families. This excursion is a Signature Experience with Destination Canada on which your equipment orientation, safety equipment and helmet are included.
