For a breathtaking and unique adventure, look no further than the Telluride Via Ferrata. This classic via ferrata route is a high-alpine traverse that precariously travels rock faces up to 600 feet above the valley floor below, exhilaratingly exposed in sections that would be impassable without the steel cables and holds along the way. The Telluride Via Ferrata provides unmatched views of Bridal Veil Falls (the highest free-falling waterfall in Colorado), the town of Telluride, and the surrounding peaks of the San Juan Mountains.

5.00This was my most outstanding and exhilarating hiking and climbing experience ever!! This course was more challenging then Angels Landing at Zion. Our guide, Chris shared many facts and features regarding the landscape and history for the surrounding area. I highly reccomend this hike/traverse and beautiful scenery activity for all athletes.

5.0064 and counting, one of the most exhilarating experiences in my life; soooo high up, soooo secure. To trek along whilst being attached to the world-class Telluride Kroger Via Ferrata on the sheer cliff faces of Telluride's iconic box canyon is the experience of a lifetime. Cliffs, old growth forest, Colorado's tallest Bridal Veil Falls, 13,000 plus foot peaks, extraordinary geology, beautiful town of Telluride in the distance. MountainTrip is a friendly, professional organization with a deep passion for all things Outdoor Adventure. Our guide Ashley was Superb!!!!! Perfect balance of informative guide and expert leader.

5.00This was a fantastic trip! We had to reschedule due to the rain but the company was easy and flexible on that. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the trail and was super helpful on navigating through, especially in the more technical sections. Not to mention the views were incredible of the entire Telluride area. He also took great pictures of us as well which is a nice added bonus. Overall, we had an amazing time and would do it again.
What an Amazing adventure thanks

5.00Chad Peele, my guide was amazing. Everything was explained before we did it and we took everything in stages. It was challenging at times but Chad's calm manor and style put me at ease. The hike itself is beautiful and you are save. On the show wall - it is intense but a great sense of acheivement when you finish. An amazing experience.
Awesome time!

5.00Tom was an excellent guide. He provided the perfect blend of thrill and safety. The route is insanely exposed and also quite safe, as long as you pay attention and listen to your guide.
