For a more adrenaline-pumping experience, take the whole family on a guided Via Ferrata tour! This is our newest attraction and one of the most unique Via Ferrata routes in Colorado. As far as Spring Break trips go, it’s no day at the beach. The rough granite walls make climbing the Royal Gorge a heart-pumping experience, and it will be a memory that lasts a lifetime. Climbers can also cross a mini suspension bridge on one of our Via Ferrata tours and have plenty of opportunities for the perfect picture. The views from the sides of the rock walls show the Royal Gorge Bridge at an angle you can’t find anywhere else in the park. The view will make you realize just how high up you were when you crossed the bridge!

Along the Via Ferrata route, you may get the chance to spot some of Colorado’s famous wildlife, including big horn sheep as they make their way along the cliffs! The experience of our Via Ferrata is unlike any other. Our expert guides will educate you on the Royal Gorge Region’s environment as well as show you the perfect spots for your photos!
