I really enjoyed the experience overall. The guide was knowledgeable,funny, patient, and made safety a priority, which helped me feel confident as a beginner. Ice climbing itself was challenging but very fun, and the setting was beautiful.

It was AMAZING! Max was wonderful! He was informative, fun & emphasized safety. He made the experience memorable. I didn’t realize that ski boots are REQUIRED because of the ‘crampits’ used to climb. FORTUNATELY, we were able to rent ones (next door) & save the day. Though I initially thought the front desk guy to be ‘pushy’ (would now let us to cancel or reschedule since ), I now find it ‘encouraging’ since he directed us to rent ski boots then catch up with the group. We climbed to our hearts’ delight & were exhausted. Despite the recent rains, Max found for us nice spots to climb; two areas adjacent to each other that were different levels of challenge. Our photos captured well our epic experience! We were able to view our climbing areas from the ski gondolas which was a bonus during our ski/snowboarding days in Tremblant 🤩

Nous avons adoré notre expérience d'escalade (1 adulte et 2 enfants de 11 et 13 ans). Le tout était parfaitement sécuritaire, avec un moniteur excellent, très doux et rassurant.

This was so much fun! Despite the extreme cold, Ollie was up for fixing lines and supporting our climb. We felt like it was just the perfect challenge level with great support.

Our guide Mathieu made this activity incredibly enjoyable. He made certain that not only that we felt safe but encouraged us and taught us a ton during the activity. I would highly recommend the activity and without a doubt urge anyone doing it to request Mathieu.

It was a great morning. The ice conditions were great. Felix put on a great clinic. Everything was very safe and well communicated. My son said it was the best thing we’ve ever done. I agreed.

J'ai adoré l'activité mais nous sommes très déçus de la guide. L'activité se déroule sur une petite cascade gelée, c'est vraiment bien et la vue au sommet est tellement belle!! Cependant, la guide ne nous a donné aucune instruction sur comment faire de l'escalade sur glace et très peu sur la descente.
