  Nul besoin d'être en super forme pour faire cette activité, il suffit d'une pointe de témérité et de goût de découvrir de nouvelles activités! Nous avions choisi le parcours intermédiaire pour notre première fois à tous les trois (couple et fille de 17 ans), je suis bien heureuse car il nous a permis de nous rendre au point le plus beau de la montagne. La montée se fait sans grande intensité, une activié parfaite pour combiner sport et aventure.

  I took my kids to this attractions, and it was far and away the best thing we did all summer. My daughters aged 17, 16, 14 and 12, along with my 10 year old son and I, all went climbing the via ferrata. At first, I was terrified. I'm not that great with heights. As soon as I climbed up onto that shaky-looking bridge, I thought I'd made a huge mistake trying this out. My kids were already way ahead of me, and I had no choice but to continue. I made it across, but I was shaking. Then we started the climb. After getting the hang of the harnesses, we followed our guide up the steep cliff. It was exhilarating, and a real challenge, but we all loved every minute of it! At the top, the views are amazing. We all really felt like we'd made it to the top of the world, like we were professional climbers, although we'd never had any kind of climbing experience before. If you only do one thing on your trip to Mont Tremblant, be sure to do the via ferrata. It's the experience of a lifetime!

  De magnifiques panoramas sur les montagnes de Tremblant, un parcours très bien équipé&varié et totalement sécuritaire, un guide sympathique et avenant, bref une expérience à refaire et à recommander à toute personne ne souffrant néanmoins pas du vertige car les falaises sont élevés et le vide est présent. Nous avons fait le parcours intermédiaire sans fatigue ni ennui et avons adoré.

  I did the 5 hour advanced course with my 15 year old son and 16 year old daughter. We have hiked in the rockies and spent a day canyoneering in Zion national park, but have never rock climbed or done a Via Ferrata. We are all in reasonable physical condition. Both my son and daughter are more comfortable with heights than I am, but my 'respect' for heights didn't stop us from booking.So glad we did!This was a very, very challenging activity for us and I'm confident none of us will ever forget our excellent day on the side of the mountain.Our guide, Mark, was superb. Friendly, bilingual, helpful, encouraging, funny, safe, energetic, very positive and relaxed - he was a genuine pleasure. We were with a group of 8 in total, including two other couples plus ourselves and Mark.Our event started on time and finished 6 hours later, in part due to a 1/2 hour period where we hunkered down under a tarp due to a brief summer storm. It was definitely exciting and more than a little fearful as the skies opened up while we were tethered and snaking ourselves across the rock face, but it's also a memory that we will never, ever... ever forget.Technically, the course is excellent.I can't imagine a better introduction to a Via Ferrata. Each of us learned a bit more about ourselves, about climbing and about each other.It was the highlight of our 10 day trip to Montreal, Quebec City and Mont Tremblant.Advice: - If you are an active Trip Advisor user and only see a dozen or so reviews instead of 100s, don't worry about it. The experience is amazing.- Wear rigid sole shoes like outdoor hiking shoes or hiking boots.- I wore light, loose long pants and was glad because I tended to lean into the rock face more than some.- The 5 hour course is a guideline, I think. Ours was 6 hours. It depends on weather, conditions, people involved and the guide, I'm sure.- Bring a small, easily accessible camera. Don't pack heavy. Bring a rain jacket.- Bring plenty of water and 2-3 of your favourite snack bars that you will actually eat because you like them. - And... this might sound a bit different than most tripadvisor.com reviews, but our family found great strength and comfort in prayer. (Every little bit counts!)I can't recommend this activity enough. It is not easy. You will probably be challenged, and, if you are considering this then getting challenged is exactly one of the key parts of this outing. Thanks again, Mark, and if you do end up biking across Canada after this season is over, I recommend Mnt. Bourgeau in Banff National Park, as we talked about. 4-5 hours gets you on top of a magnificent peak. Go early and enjoy the solitude. Thanks!

  Myself and my 11 year old son had a wonderful experience climbing the Via Ferrata. The guide was careful to explain our safety equipment. We were both excited with the climb - which was decidedly more scary than either of us anticipated. There were even sections where you had to claw your way across using tiny rock crevices as hand holds. My only complaint is that as the last person in the group -- there were many times where I couldn't see the guide nor hear his directions. Often I just kind of winged it. The climb was the highlight of our vacation.

  It was very fun, I mean very fun. We did the beginner run, but I recommend to do the intermediate, the run is a little bit longer in term of time. Try to book a whole group with family/friend or with people who are at the same level as you, because you do not want to be stuck behind somebody who is scared, the day can be long. It worth the price and the effort, because you'll work hard!

  This was an absolutely exciting activity! It was our first time doing the Via Ferrata and we did the Beginner excursion - it was still fun and the view was absolutely splendid once you get to the top! The climb is about 95m high. If you've done zip-lining or tree-top trekking, you'll get a hang of the harness and the clips much faster. Can't wait to try out the Intermediate one!

  The difference between beginner, intermediate, and advanced is time on the mountain. If you are fit enough for a 6 hour elevated hike then you are fit enough for advanced. If not scale it down to intermediate or beginner. The tour provides a harness and a helmet only (you cannot wear a ball cap under the helmet but sunglasses are ok). Bring 1.5L of water and light snacks in a backpack and wear sneakers with some grip. There are multiple locations where you can take your backpack off, so a DSLR camera is fine if you are ok carrying it in a backpack. Some people wore fingerless gloves and some didn’t, both were fine. Via ferrata is FUN (even for an experienced climber). Info on this tour is hard to find (at least in English), help others by voting this review helpful if it was.
