Telluride Retreat

June 13-18, 2025 

If you’re looking for a thrill this is the trip for you!

Telluride, CO offers some of the WORLD’s best via ferrata routes, incredible rock climbing and breathtaking mountain summits.

We will be doing it all! This is a trip packed full of adventure and right here in the US.

Due to the nature of this trip, availability is confirmed at the time of booking and not guaranteed.

 

via FERRATA

A via Ferrata route is a mountain activity that combines rock climbing, scrambling and hiking. We utilize fixed cables, ladders and bridges attached to rock faces to climb and traverse.

These routes can be scary, especially for those with sensitivity to heights. Keep in mind you will be in a harness and on a rope for safety for the extent of our via Ferrata routes.

Every via route is unique and challenging in it’s own way. These will test your comfort zone and leave you feeling an intense sense of accomplishment!

This trip includes two via Ferrata routes:

  • Telluride via Ferrata – a series of narrow hiking paths and rugged iron ladder stairs welded into a cliff towering above the town of Telluride. Climbers secure themselves into a metal cable that runs along the face of the rock, enjoying breathtaking exposure and spectacular views.
  • Ouray via Ferrata – a physical, action packed adventure in the heart of Ouray, Colorado. This route begins in a narrow canyon above a roaring river and ends on the rim above. This adventure includes vertical climbing, cable bridges and ladders.

While no previous experience is required, a moderate level of fitness is a must.

 

ROCK CLIMBING

The San Juan Mountains jagged peaks and large wall faces offer many climbing routes. Our experienced guides will coach us through a full-day of rock climbing on routes appropriate for your skill level.

You can expect to climb 4-6 routes, with plenty of rest between climbs. It is not necessary to have previous climbing experience.

This day of rock climbing will be a perfect way for everyone to become familiar with their harness and learn how it feels to be on a rock wall before we head off to our Telluride via Ferrara route.

 

WILSON PEAK

Colorado is known for it’s many 14,000ft mountains. Summiting any of these mountains is a huge accomplishment!

To conclude our trip we will have the opportunity to summit Wilson Peak. (it’s the mountain on the Coors Light can!)

This summit sits at 14,021 feet. We will hike a 10mile route with 3,900ft of elevation gain. This is a day hike that will begin at sunrise (maybe before).

Wilson Peak is in the San Juan Mountains and considered a Class 3 trek. This means we will experience rugged terrain, large rocks and steep slope. You can expect some scrambling with exposure.

This trek will be guided by experienced mountaineers! They will ensure we stay on route, safely approach the summit and provide ropes where needed.

Our Wilson Peak summit will be a GREAT way to experience a class 3 mountain with professional guides.

No previous experience is necessary but an above average level of fitness is best for this adventure.
