Skyline

$319

The Skyline includes an exciting high traverse on a sheer rock wall and crosses an “airy” 55m suspension bridge. Your effort is amply rewarded at the top, with outstanding panoramic views where the Rocky Mountains stretch out in every direction. With Banff as a backdrop over 1000 metres below, enjoy the uber-scenic ridge-crest descent as it leads you back to the Cliffhouse Bistro to celebrate your mountaineering accomplishments.

Summiteer

$399

The Summiteer tops out at the highest point of Norquay’s via ferrata. A continuation of the Skyline route, this 6-hour adventure traverses the alpine ridge and crosses an additional three-wire suspension bridge over an impressive couloir. Be awed by the breathtaking 360-degree views of the Canadian Rockies as you enjoy a well-earned (and included) lunch on the East Summit of Mt Norquay. After your tour, unwind and share in the stoke at the Cliffhouse Bistro with a beverage and appetizers – also included in your tour.
