Abseiling is an exciting way to experience the mountains from a completely different perspective. Stand above the cliff, take in the view and then make your descent under the guidance of an experienced adventure professional.
Whether it’s your first time abseiling or you’re looking for something more challenging, Big Sky Adventures can help you find an experience suited to your group. We operate at multiple abseiling venues, allowing us to select a suitable experience based on your group’s age, fitness, experience and preferred level of challenge.
*Fitness, age and technical requirements depend on the selected venue.
Meet your guide and receive a safety briefing before being introduced to the equipment.
Depending on the selected venue, reaching the abseil may involve a short walk or a more demanding mountain approach.
Your guide will explain the equipment, demonstrate the descent and make sure everyone understands the safety procedures before beginning.
Once you’re ready, step over the edge and begin your descent with your guide managing the technical aspects and assisting throughout the experience.
Once everyone has completed the descent, we’ll pack away the equipment and make our way back through the mountains.

We’ll choose an accessible venue and introduce you to the fundamentals in a controlled environment.
