If adventure, water and rock faces are your cup of tea, canyoning is definitely for you! On foot, swimming or roped up for an abseil, make your way in a river to explore canyons, waterfalls and natural slides that will make you experience a whole range of emotions. In Quebec, we love this outdoor activity for its cooling effect in the summer. And we love it so much that we also invented ice canyoning! Summer and winter alike, rely on our network of Quality-Safety certified businesses to experience canyoning at its best.
Charlevoix is a region where natural and cultural attractions pair up with soaring mountains and the colossal St. Lawrence River. A UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the Tourisme Charlevoix visitor region is a must-see for practising outdoor and adventure activities. Both Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie and Parc national des Grands-Jardins offer a full lineup of outdoor activities including hiking, via ferrata, canoeing, kayaking, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, dog-sledding and snowmobiling. See the region’s 350 million-year-old crater, plan a long-distance hike on La Traversée de Charlevoix’s 100 km trail that crisscrosses the backcountry, offering beautiful vistas across the region, or the more daring can try winter kayaking amid the ice floes. This is but a short list of the territory’s many assorted visitor experiences.
