“Amazing trip. Beautiful scenery and great commentary to go with it. The train had hot and cold drinks and snacks and toilets. The only thing you have to be mindful of is the tour is 2 1/2 hours only even if you get stuck waiting for freight trains to pass through (as we did on two occasions) so your time at the other end off the train may be limited to only 10 minutes as apposed to the 30 advertised. However to be honest the little museum at the end takes only a couple of minutes and there is nothing else around there unless you want to take lots of…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 84 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $150Top rated

Gear and safety instruction are included, but you need good fitness, sturdy shoes, gloves, food, and water.

“My wife's highlight of the trip! We had done a via feratta in Peru, so we had a pretty good idea of what we were getting into on this activity. Our expectations were surpassed entirely by Stian (the guide), the equipment, and the views. While it was tough (you have to be fit to do this comfortably), safety was never a concern. The cables, brackets, and anchors were in good shape, and I never felt any flex or give in them. My wife (and the pictures verify this) reports the views were amazing. I'm scared of heights, so I focused on the mountain and, with Stain's help, was able to…”

“First off the view from this trip was amazing A++++! The vistas, lake, flowers, waterfalls, and quaint villages were superb! The bike, helmet, help from the staff, and protective gear were terrible. When we got dropped off at the top by the lake, we were given no instructions as to where to go, except just downhill. The bikes were not sized for us and no wrenches were provided to adjust the seat heights. The tires had no tread, the kick stand kept falling down while riding, the breaks were sticky and you had to anticipate every stop way ahead of time to get the bike to actually stop. The helmets…”

Saves time and a huge amount of energy in an efficient way ... a must for seniors to see the sites ... 1.5 hours with 2 stops of maybe 15 minutes each at each crowded crazy viewpoint ...”
