The Location

Canyon Sainte-Anne is located some 30 minutes’ drive from Quebec city, not far from the Mont Sainte-Anne ski resort.

The Canyon

As you begin to make your way through the trails in the forest that follows the vertical rock walls on the banks of the beautiful Sainte-Anne river, you will be taken aback as your eyes first make contact with the waterfalls.

Indeed, the spectacular two hundred and forty two foot waterfall stands higher than the majestic Niagara falls.

Enjoy magnificent panoramic views as you make your way across the three suspension bridges.  The highest bridge stands at almost two hundred feet above the scenic gorge. Also, if you are lucky, you may just get to see some adrenaline junkies zip lining over the gorge, right next to the bridge.
