Canyon Sainte-Anne
A deep gorge carved by a 74-meter waterfall, crossed by three suspension bridges. You can also try zip lines and via ferrata climbs.
Canyon Sainte-Anne is near Beaupré, about 40 minutes by car from Quebec City. Here the Sainte-Anne River plunges over a waterfall about 74 meters high and cuts through a deep granite canyon. A loop trail crosses three suspension bridges, one of which hangs directly above the waterfall, so you can feel the powerful spray. Paid activities include high-wire zip lines and via ferrata climbing. Admission must be purchased. It is generally open from May to October, and autumn foliage season is the most beautiful time to visit. It can be combined with the Basilica of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré in a single day.
