点评:Royal Gorge Via Ferrata is a must-do experience. The company is run by a friendly, efficient and knowledgeable team that prioritizes safety and maintains their equipment with care. Group sizes are kept small (max five climbers), and a variety of tour lengths and routes accommodate different fitness and comfort levels. The routes are well designed and the scenery is stunning—you can’t go wrong.
I chose the Royal Tour, and our guide, Collin, was outstanding. Collin encouraged us to personalize our climb, using the iron rungs as optional tools. This gave us the freedom to safely scramble and choose how to approach obstacles, making the experience feel both challenging and empowering. Collin was friendly, encouraging and set a manageable pace. Under Collin’s guide, I had an exceptional adventure that felt uniquely tailored to me.

我选择了皇家之旅,我们的导游科林 (Collin) 非常出色。科林鼓励我们根据个人情况定制攀登路线,将铁梯作为可选工具。这让我们可以自由选择安全攀爬的方式,并根据自身情况选择应对障碍的方式,让这段体验既充满挑战,又充满力量。科林待人友善,鼓励我们,并设定了合理的攀爬节奏。在科林的带领下,我经历了一次非同寻常的冒险,感觉就像是为我量身定制的。
