Family Activity – Via Ferrata

Dave — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 03:11:20 +0000

The Via Ferrata is a perfect way for families to enjoy an adventure together in Queenstown. We have a selection of trails and cliff’s to climb which keeps the adventure at the right level for peoples abilities. We have a maximum group size of six to one guide, which keeps trips personal and also maintains our high safety standards. The normal Via Ferrata trip last 4 hours which includes climbing the rungs on the Via Ferrata and trekking to the cliffs. During the short trek, your guide will give you a full interpretation of the native flora and fauna and point at local landmarks. If you are looking for something a little different, which includes educational value and adventure, this is the perfect activity. Look forward to guiding you on the Kiwi Via Ferrata.

Heli hike or climb

Utilise your time most efficiently to gain those alpine highs.

We can organise helicopter access to many great alpine locations.

The benefits are clear, far less time and effort to gain altitude to inspiring alpine areas.

This gives you the possibilities to do as much hands on ascent as you want to gain a peak or just enjoy the amazing scenery and environment.

All heli hikes are by arrangement only, with helicopter costs extra to guiding fees.

Helicopter costs are dependant on numbers of participants and flying time.
