Via Ferrata

Road of Iron

Telluride's Via Ferrata is not for the faint-hearted, but it's a must-do for any adrenaline junkie or to-the-core adventure seeker stopping by. At its most intense, you're suspended on a small iron foothold by a harness at 500 feet. The newly-legal climbing route is technical, breathtaking and exposed on the East end and South-facing wall of Telluride's boxed canyon. If you do decide to partake in this incredible experience, please be safe! We highly recommend utilizing San Juan Outfitters who can provide the technical gear and expertise to guide you through it safely.
