A Via Ferrata, which means “iron way” in Italian, is a method of mountaineering & rock climbing that’s been used in Europe for centuries. Via Ferrata courses use a combination of ladders, rungs, rails, cables and bridges to aid in moving across and up a cliff face. The Iron Way in Idaho Springs is an assisted rock climbing guided tour where guests clip into cables that run along the side of a cliff. They then move along a designated path of iron rungs and bridges to move across, and along the way they will be required to clip in and out of the cable to progress through the course. This is made possible through an advanced internal locking system in the carabiners. Each guest will have 2 carabiners connected to bungee-style lanyards on their harness. The internal locking system makes it impossible to clip out of both at the same time, insuring that climbers are connected to the cable of the course at all times.

The experience covered many aspects of climbing including traversing, rappelling, zip lining and multiple bridges suspended between rock formations . Coby and TJ kept our group safe , kept us laughing And gave us valuable tips for completing the Ferrata . I dropped my phone out of my pocket and they climbed down 30 feet to retrieve it !! Thanks so much for showing us a great time !!

What a wonderful day it was. There were 3 of us. My wife, teenage son, and myself. AVA Adventures did a fantastic job of allowing us to experience a sense of adventure on the zip lines while still feeling completely safe. Dillon and Mark were lots of fun and very knowledgeable. Thank you to AVA and to our wonderful guides!
