Self Guided Gold Mountain Via Ferrata

Welcome to the self guided, monitored experience of the Gold Mountain Via Ferrata. After completing an orientation course with one of our certified guides, you’ll have the freedom to enjoy this epic adventure on your own. Guides will be stationed at key locations to answer questions, provide direction, and ensure a safe adventure for all, but the route is yours to explore independently. Please NOTE: Prior rock climbing or self-guided via ferrata experience is required for this adventure. If you do not have prior experience, we invite you to explore our private guided Gold Mountain Via Ferrata adventures here.
