The best way to describe the Telluride Via Ferrata would be as a high consequence alpine hike. While not particularly technically difficult, this Via Ferrata is not for the faint of heart – at its most intense, you’ll be suspended on a small iron foothold by a harness at 500 feet, completely exposed on the east end and south-facing wall. So, while the route may be a perfectly thrilling adventure for visitors of a wide range of skills, it’s not particularly for those with a fear of heights. However, those that can overcome their fears get to experience a breathtaking two-mile climb with some gut-wrenching drops and astonishing views. Find confidence and discover nature’s beauty in Telluride’s Via Ferrata.
