Overview

Quotes Logo Via Ferrata Adventure in North Lake Tahoe is a super fun way to climb up a mountain! It's like a mix of climbing, hiking, and scrambling. You get to go up a really tall cliff, about 800 feet high! And the best part? You don't need to know anything about climbing to do it.

The Tahoe Via Ferrata lets you see parts of the mountain that used to be impossible to get to. It turns tough spots into a fun and easy course. The rocks have ladders, steps, and bridges made of steel. These help you move around. Plus, there's a strong steel cable that's always there to keep you safe. You wear a harness that's hooked to the cable, so you're always connected to the mountain.

This adventure is great for families! People of all ages and levels can have a blast. It's a unique and exciting way to see the beautiful mountains around Lake Tahoe. Quotes Logo

The Journey

1

Tram Face, Palisades Tahoe

Tram Face at Palisades Tahoe is the location for the Tahoe Via Ferrata, offering previously inaccessible terrain high above Olympic Valley. It features an 800-foot vertical cliff equipped with ladder rungs, steel steps, suspension bridges, and a steel cable system for assisted climbing. This makes it accessible to individuals without prior climbing experience.

2

Olympic Valley

Olympic Valley, the base of Palisades Tahoe, serves as the starting point for the Via Ferrata adventure. It is a historically significant location, known for hosting the 1960 Winter Olympics. The valley provides a scenic backdrop for the climb, offering stunning views and a vibrant atmosphere.

Know Before You Go

This adventure includes transportation from Olympic Valley to the Via Ferrata start, all the special climbing gear you need (helmet, harness, and lanyard), and an experienced guide from Alpenglow Expeditions. You'll need to bring your own hiking shoes, a backpack, water, and snacks. There is no pickup or drop-off provided at a specific location. Meetup is at the Alpenglow Expeditions office in Olympic Valley.

Hot Tip

Some people who have done the Via Ferrata suggest bringing gloves to help grip the cables. Also, wear layers so you can adjust to the changing temperatures as you climb higher.
