Via Ferrata at Mt Norquay
Experience Banff at a whole new level. By this, we mean from up high! Mt Norquay offers thrill seekers the opportunity to climb its Via Ferrata. ‘Via what’ you say? Italian for Iron Path, the Via Ferrata is a cable-assisted hiking/rock climbing activity. Open to anyone with a head for heights and an appreciation for the outdoors, this one’s not to be missed!
Taking you to the cliffs above the ski area, you’re led by a certified guide and assisted by a fixed anchoring system of cables, ladders, and a suspension bridge. The exposure is real, but so is the safety. At the top, you’re rewarded with some of the most unique and stunning views of Banff.
Friends and family who are not up for the climb can also enjoy the view from the historic Cliffhouse Bistro with a sightseeing chairlift ride.
