Canyoning-Québec, double winner of 2010 Québec tourism Awards in Quebec City Region and Charlevoix

March 30, 2010. Quebec City Award Ceremony. Quote from the jury: "Only company specialized in canyoning in Canada, Canyoning-Québec offers the summer descent of Jean-Larose Waterfall ...(since 2000)... Even more, it is featuring a unique tourism product in North America and exclusive to Quebec City Region: ice-canyoning."

In year 2000, Canyoning-Québec was starting the first descents at Jean-Larose Falls, at the foot of Mont-Sainte-Anne. This site is now a canyoning reference in Quebec and a must for adventure tourism in the Quebec City Region, summer and winter. Since then, many locations have been added and Canyoning-Quebec remains the only specialist in Canada. A distinctive product from other vertical activities (aerial hebertism, via ferrata), canyoning is a vertical watersport practiced with a high guide/client ratio, excellent risk management and minimal installations with low impact on the environment.

 

Ice Canyoning

Canyoning-Québec offers a winter experience in the Jean-Larose Falls by simply adapting the summer techniques and knowledge to ice conditions (with no running water). The result is the discovery a totally transformed site in a magical season. We are the only ones to offer Ice Canyoning in North America.

Incredible! On February 14, 2008, a natural heart appeared at the bottom of the great cascade for Valentine's Day! On the photo: Nicholas Feeley and Angella Groulx.

New! Outings for groups of up to 40 persons. Call us for details and special rates.

 

 

Outdoor amateurs will rappel down and enjoy the 41 meter frozen and dry last drop of Jean-Larose Falls. There is an initiation clinic to learn the rappelling technique in two easy 20 meters steep slopes before approaching the great drop. It is important to understand that it is not ice climbing but descent on ice, an easier and less physical activity, still with the vertical thrill.

 

Classical summer canyoning

Born in France about forty years ago, canyoning (or canyoneering in the U.S.) is traveling in canyons using a variety of techniques such as stream hiking, abseiling, swimming and jumping. Canyoning-Québec imported this summer activity and invented ice canyoning for winter. Most people are fit to do the activity with no experience but some individuals prone to vertigo will appreciate the vertigotherapeutic skills of the professional canyoning guides. Everyone will live an exhilarating and unforgetable experience suspended close to a waterfall!
