Discover our National Park from an all new perspective! Take your outdoor adventures in a unique mountain experience with our Via Ferrata Laurentides activity. Established and already popular in Europe, “via ferratas” or “iron roads” have been springing up all over Quebec in the last few years.
Located in Mont-Tremblant park, our Via Ferrata Laurentides in Mont-Tremblant promises to be full of surprises! No rock climbing experience is necessary to experience our Via ferrata in Laurentides. A brief course will help you learn the basics of via ferrata before tackling the trail. 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. Expect some physical exertion.
All required safety equipment is provided. Inclusions for the excursion are a guide, initiation course, and safety equipment (harness, helmet, and lanyard) as well as Park access fees. Reservations for our Via Ferrata Mont Tremblant are required and spots are limited, so reserve early to avoid disappointment. Take the leap and embark on our Via Ferrata Mont Tremblant today!
There are several Via Ferrata activities offered in the area, see our comparison table.
