Via Ferrata Mont-Catherine

Our 2-hour (winter) or 3-hour (summer) Via Ferrata Mont-Catherine excursion is perfect for thrill seekers looking to challenge themselves while appreciating the stunning views from Mont-Catherine. A Via Ferrata is a hike on a rock cliff equipped with metal anchors, cables and bridges that are crossed as you ascend the cliff face.

2 ziplines & Via-Ferrata (4 season)

Starting from our reception building, you will do a short initiation on a rock wall before walking a short 10 min walk to reach the cliffs of Cap Beauséjour. This is the starting point for our Via Ferrata, a challenging face with built-in steps, hand and footholds. Along the 1968 foot (600m) route, while connected to the continuous life line (you are always connected to a steel cable), you will climb obstacles such as ladders, metal steps and handles, and cross bridges, steel cables and even a chain swing between two sections as you ascend to a height of 196 feet (60 m), the equivalent of a 20-storey building! Our Via Ferrata is 300m long. At the top, you can admire the view over Ste Agathe-des-Monts. The next step, our first Mega Zipline of 3000 feet (900m), brings you to the other side of the mountain. Our second Zipline then takes you for a 2132-foot (650m) flight down to the foot of Cap Beauséjour.
