TAHOE VIA ROUTE OPTIONS

The Tahoe Via offers multiple route options to best fit the needs of your family. For those wanting to go to the top of the tram face and experience the entirety of the route, we offer a 4-hour tour. If you want to experience a Via Ferrata then the 2 or 3-hour tour. Whichever time tour option you decide on, one of our amga trained guides will pick the best route for you and your family.

CONTINUOUS LIFELINE

The Continuous lifeline system is a cutting-edge innovation within the Via Ferrata realm. The system provides an unparalleled margin of safety and quality of movement. Ultimately, this increases the safety and enjoyment of the experience for your family and provides peace of mind that your family is attached to the cable no questions asked.

AMGA TRAINED GUIDES

To increase the margin of safety and the quality of experience, all of our Alpenglow Expeditions guides have been trained by the AMGA. Our guides are prepared and eager to use their specialized skills to help you have a memorable and safe family outing.

BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY

One of the best parts of the Tahoe Via is that you can experience it with the large groups of almost any age! Each tour can have up to six people with one guide. If you have a larger family or want to bring the extended family we can easily accommodate larger groups by adding an additional guide.

The Tahoe Via is the first time families can make life-long memories interacting with the steep and storied Tram Face. We hope to see you and your family soon for an unforgettable experience.
