Description

1000 metres long (green, orange and red route below), our Via Ferrata – La Grande Virée takes approximately 5 hours including a 40-minute walk back to the departure point.

Discover our National Park from an all new perspective, in a unique mountain experience, our Via Ferrata Mont Tremblant. Established and already popular in Europe, “via ferratas” or “iron roads” have been springing up all over Quebec in the last few years.

This exciting route is built onto the Vache Noire rock wall. Located in Mont-Tremblant park, our Via Ferrata Mont-Tremblant promises to be chock-full of surprises! Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced hiker, you will never forget this adventure, which you will embark on with our guide. Clipped into a steel cable that runs the length of the cliff, you will cross a challenging face with built-in steps, handles, beams and various types of bridges while overlooking the meandering Diable River far below. After making a 200-metre ascent, you will be struck by a spectacular view of the mountains and horizon.

No rockclimbing experience is necessary to experience our via ferrata. A brief course will help you learn the basics of via ferrata before tackling the trail. All required safety equipment is provided. Expect some physical exertion.

FAQ

When Should I reserve?

These are very popular activities. Reservations for weekends and vacations should be made 1 to 2 weeks in advance. For any other time, reservations should be made a few days in advance

For the canoeing. Is the river calm?

There is 1 very small set of rapids at the beginning that can be easily portaged, then current will move you along.

Can I do the self-guided canoe if it is my first time canoeing?

We don’t recommend it if you haven’t paddled a canoe before. Canoes require technique to manoeuvre. These techniques are taught on the guided tour.

Can anyone do the Via Ferrata ?

Yes, as long as you are ready for some moderate physical and balance challenges. If you can climb a ladder you should have no problem.

Is the guide always with us during the Via Ferrata ?

Yes, the guide will do the whole activity with you.

What is the difference between this and the Rouge River self guided trip?

The Diable River is narrower with less sun.
The Diable River is in a wilderness setting, so more chances to see wildlife. You will not be passing chalets and farms.
The Diable River has fewer beaches.
The Diable River has more bugs
The Diable River is further from Tremblant resort.

There are several canot/ kayak / paddleboard activities offered in the area, see our comparison table.
