Tahoe Via Ferrata

This was an incredible experience. We had a small group for a 4 hour tour and our guide was very patient. He even gave us an extra climb after our break. I was impressed with the difficulty. I thought it would be easier. It was definitely an adrenalin rush. some of the climbs were pretty steep and walking on a rope was my biggest accomplishment. I felt pretty safe with all the steel steps and being clipped in helped! My 20 year old son said it was his best experience. I would definitely recommend this company.

We had an absolutely great time on our trip. We booked the 4 hour option, and I highly recommend this for anyone athletic looking for a fun challenge. No better way to enjoy the mountain with little to no climbing experience. The scenery was incredible and we even got to see a huge eagle sorrowing above us. We also got to wave at our family members as they went by on the tram. Even though we were high up, we never felt unsafe or out of control. Also, our guide, Micheal, was really great and took a some awesome photos of our group. I definitely recommend him to anyone else looking to make a booking.

Mountain climbing at its safest but also fun and challenging. The course, from its holds and views and even monkey bridges were a blast, even if you're someone who is looking to get out of their comfort zone. Tim was a great guide — and basically a sherpa when it came to climbing the trail. Full recommend as a half day experience when visiting the Tahoe area.

We love via Ferrata. This was our 3rd destination to explore. The continuous clip system was different, took a minute to get used to. Not bad, just different than the two clips we’re used to. Guide was nice. Ended up with a group of 6 yappy females on a birthday trip and we were glad to be able to split off and go on a different path. Difficulty level was maybe a 3 out of 10. Views were amazing , weather was awesome (end of July). Definitely bring a hydration pack. They provided gloves (shoes are $10 but not necessary). For this climb, regular shoes would work. Only negative thing I will say is the walk back is much longer than anticipated. They provided complimentary beer and sparkling water after which was nice.

My sister and I had the best time on the 4 hour via ferrata with Jake! He took the most incredible photos of us throughout the trip and was knowledgeable and fun to hang on the mountain with. If you're looking for an adventure photographer to shoot you climbing, hiking, skiing, etc you should absolutely reach out to Jake - guide + photographer all in one! If you love hiking and mountains then you have to do the 4 hour - anything shorter wouldn't have been enough. If they added a 6 hour option I would absolutely do it again. Highly recommend doing this in the off season (fall or spring) to avoid being in a large group and to avoid roasting on the mountain in the sun. The weather was perfect mid september and we were the only ones in our group. Take the gloves when offered - they made a big difference. If you are looking for a fun way to get on the mountain that is low stress and you have no experience you should do the 2 hour option for sure and I'll bet you'll get hooked and want to come back for the 4 hour :) Thanks Jake and Alpenglow Expeditions!

Tahoe Via Ferrata with Alpenglow Expeditions was incredible! If you can have Mike as your guide, request him and ask him about his summit to Everest! The 4-hour via ferrata is the way to go. This hike up the mountain being hooked to cables is an awesome adventure trip. Sunny made everything easy to schedule and they take you up to the start on a beast of a terrain vehicle. You won’t regret doing this, and at Tahoe, you get incredible views! Thanks Mike and Alpenglow for a wonderful trip!!

Epic freaking adventure! I’ve completed the Eagle course at fort Benning hooah. I’ve hiked some steep mountains and had to slide down snowy slopes on my bottom. I’ve done another via Ferrata in Kentucky. I say this to qualify my first statement. Do it! Guides were excellent.

Super experience with Via Ferrata. The 3 hour loophole climb was perfect for us. It was challenging and quite hot (25°C) but felt hotter at times. Our 9 year old son lived it, but it pushed his bravery at times. Amazing views and a fab achievement. Our guide (birthday boy) Mike was perfect; engaging and gave us alot of confidence but didn't push us too hard. 100% recommend. Try and do on a weekday, gets super busy on weekends
