The tour with Mountain Skills Academy tour takes up to 4 hours the route covers roughly 4 km (2.5 miles) of mountain terrain and 260 meters (850 feet) of elevation gain. Participants must be 12 years of age or older.
Tip: When booking the whistler via ferrata with MSA, buy your gondola passes from them as well. Ticketing line ups in Whistler Village tend to be long AF for the gondola, and this way you avoid the frustrating wait. You can pick the tickets up from MSA at their convenient office location: 207B – 4368 Main St, Market Pavilion, Whistler Town Plaza, Whistler, BC, V0N 1B4
Note: All the websites list this as an activity for those in ‘moderate’ shape. What is doesn’t describe is that the entire adventure is almost 8kms long with plenty of incline. Definitely doable, but I’d consider it requiring more that just ‘moderate’.
Tip: Take the gondola up with plenty of time to spare (like 1-2hrs early). The gondola ride itself only takes 15mins however the line ups can add significantly to that time. Got up early? Go soak in the views, have a bite to eat, and enjoy some shopping.
