Full description

Our granite course at our Buena Vista outpost is just one hour from Breckenridge, Vail, and Aspen and begins with a thrilling zipline to your starting point! You will ascend crags and rappel above the Arkansas River Valley, gaining magnificent views of the 14000+ foot Collegiate Peaks throughout the entire course. You will traverse across iron rungs, bars, and ladders built into the granite cliffside, high above the Arkansas River Valley. This course is a more exposed, edgier rendition of AVA’s Mount Evans Via Ferrata in Idaho Springs and one that will have your heart pumping as you explore the mountaintops of the beautiful Colorado Rockies. Guests clip in and out of cables that run along the side of a cliff, moving along a designated path of iron rungs and bridges. Our course utilizes an internal locking system with 2 carabiners that make it impossible to clip out of both at the same time, ensuring that climbers always remain connected to the course.

We had a wonderful time zip lining. Our guides, Sienna and Quinn, were funny, talkative, happy, and overall awesome! They made our zip line tour fly by. They also were very willing to help us in any way needed when we got locked out of our car. All of the staff members were caring and willing to lend a hand if needed. Would definitely recommend!

My sister and I had an mazing experience on the zipline course! Meghan and Julia were awesome guides and informative to keep everyone safe! I would 100% go again! The course is not too high up, but does require a small hike to the first course. Half day is 6 courses, the last one being the shortest.This course requires the skill of handbraking, which can prove challenging….

A huge shoutout to the crew at AVA Zipline. From the beginning they went above and beyond to make sure our experience was the best. Cameron and Kyle did an outstanding job going over all the safety parts of ziplining and once out on the course they knocked it out of the park! We would HIGHLY recommend AVA to anyone in the Idaho Springs area!
