Highlights
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.

5Maddie is an amazing guide!
I am 58 and was doing the Via with my 28 year old daughter. Maddie was so calm and encouraging, coaching me through the entire experience. She had a lot of knowledge and experience, and made us both feel safe!
5Great time hanging from the cliffside.
Great time with a great guide! Perfect amount of time and effort that I was looking for.
5Great first time
Great first ferrata experience! great guide who was fun and informative. just the right amount of time and effort I was looking for :)
5Via Ferrata Fun
Our guide Chris was excellent! Competent in his craft, knowledgeable about the area's history and geology, engaging and fun, and of course intimately familiar with the via ferrata course. Can't recommend him enough. Would certainly consider using him again for more via ferrata fun or perhaps some backcountry skiing in the winter.
5Unforgettable private via ferrata experience!
I booked a private via ferrata climb and cannot recommend it enough. The route itself was challenging enough to be a blast, but the iron rungs, cables, and overall trail were exceptionally well maintained. I felt safe and secure the entire time, which made it easy to just focus on the climb and amazing views. A massive shoutout to my guide, Chris, who completely made the trip! Since I was climbing solo, having a guide who is incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely nice made all the difference. He had a great way of making me feel comfortable and confident on the wall. You can tell he really knows what he is doing and truly cares about the experience. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat. If you are booking this climb, definitely ask for Chris!
5Tom at Mountain Trip is Awesome
Mountain Trip and their guide Tom gave us the safest and most enjoyable trip! Tom is calm, patient, highly trained, and very experienced. Made all the difference!

About Telluride
Telluride is a former silver-mining town in a box canyon of Colorado's San Juan Mountains, with skiing, summer festivals and a waterfall at its head.
Telluride lies at 2,667 metres in a narrow box canyon, ringed by peaks above 4,000 metres, and its main street of brick Victorian buildings from the silver-mining boom is a National Historic Landmark District. Butch Cassidy committed his first bank robbery here in 1889. Bridal Veil Falls, at 110 metres the tallest free-falling waterfall in Colorado, drops at the head of the canyon.
