Why it enters the Top 100

An experience ranked for its story and distinctiveness.

The route is only accessible by helicopter from the Bobbie Burns lodge and crosses ridges, peaks and walls in the backcountry of the Purcell Mountains. Its signature element is a free suspension bridge between two towers, around a thousand metres above the ground according to the manager, before a rappel from the summit. CMH still markets Nimbus; Tourism Golden confirms the existence of the ferrata and the helicopter experience, without setting an absolute record.
