An Adventure for the Entire Family

The Tahoe Via Ferrata allows its participants to explore the previously inaccessible terrain of Tram Face at Palisades Tahoe while still high above Olympic Valley’s floor! Enjoy a guided walk while equipped with ladder rungs, steel steps, and suspension bridges that allow climbers of all skill levels to move through some challenging terrain.

Afraid of Heights? The directors over at the Via Ferrata told us that they have a TON of people who are afraid of heights climb the Via every year, and the feedback is always, “WHOA! I can’t believe I did that!” Making this a perfect way to conquer your fear of heights and step outside of your comfort zone.

There are three separate routes to the top and each route also has a steel cable anchored into the rock which runs up the entire route from start to finish. Each participant is issued a harness with a specialized lanyard that attaches to the cable which ensures you are connected to the rock 100% of the time. This system also makes climbing a big cliff accessible to people with no prior climbing experience.

Important Safety Note from Via Ferrata: due to safety requirements, climbers must be at least 3’11” to climb. Our safety equipment is rated for climbers 88lbs to 264lbs. Please check with the office if you or someone in your group is outside the requirements. Climbers can still climb if they meet the height minimum, but must be in a private group if they are under 88 lbs.
