Via Ferrata Granite Tour - Half-Day Adventure

Granite Via Ferrata Tour

Running daily from May 8 to September 7, 2026, the Granite Via Ferrata Tour is a thrilling half-day adventure perfect for explorers ages 12 and up (with a minimum weight of 75 pounds). Based at the Buena Vista outpost, just about an hour from Breckenridge, Vail, and Aspen, the experience kicks off with an adrenaline-pumping zipline ride that whisks you straight to the start of your climb—setting the tone for an unforgettable day from the very first moment.

This unique experience combines the excitement of ziplining with the challenge of ascending crags and rappelling above the breathtaking Arkansas River Valley. The course features iron rungs, bars, and ladders built into the granite cliffside, offering an edgier, more exposed adventure compared to AVA’s Mount Evans Via Ferrata in Idaho Springs. As participants traverse the cliffside, they are treated to magnificent views of the towering 14,000+ foot Collegiate Peaks, ensuring an awe-inspiring backdrop throughout the journey.

Safety is paramount on the Granite Via Ferrata Tour. Climbers are equipped with helmets, harnesses, and gloves, and our internal locking system with two carabiners ensures that participants remain securely connected to the course at all times. This meticulous setup allows adventurers to confidently navigate the path of iron rungs and bridges while soaking in the stunning scenery.

The course includes several lines from our zipline course, adding to the thrill of the adventure. As guests clip in and out of cables running along the cliff, they will traverse a designated path that tests their mettle and rewards them with unparalleled views of the Arkansas River Valley.

The Granite Via Ferrata Tour offers a unique and unforgettable experience, blending the adrenaline rush of ziplining with the rugged challenge of via ferrata climbing. Whether you’re an experienced climber or a first-timer, this tour promises an exhilarating day in the Colorado Rockies, with memories that will last a lifetime.
