Canyon Sainte-Anne

Canyon Sainte-Anne – Outdoor adventures just 35 minutes from Old Québec

Just 35 minutes from Old Québec, Canyon Sainte-Anne offers a breathtaking natural playground shaped over a billion years ago in the heart of the Canadian Shield. Surrounded by forest and mountains, this spectacular canyon is the perfect setting for safe and accessible outdoor experiences for families, solo travellers, and groups.

Follow 3 km of well-marked hiking trails through dramatic landscapes, including a 74-metre waterfall — taller than Niagara Falls — and cross three suspension bridges, one of which hangs 60 metres above the canyon floor. Eight scenic lookouts perched along the cliff walls offer stunning views of the falls and ancient rock formations.

Don’t miss the Air Canyon: a one-of-a-kind zipline in Canada that lets you soar 90 metres above the gorge at speeds of up to 50 km/h — a thrilling and unforgettable ride. For families, the immersive Pétraminis Trail features a 1 km forest path with ground-level obstacle modules and playful characters that blend fun, nature, and discovery.

On-site amenities include a free mobile shuttle (accessible to visitors with reduced mobility), free parking, a restaurant and terrace, picnic areas, a gift shop, multilingual information panels, and pet-friendly access. A covered base camp also welcomes school groups, VIP visits, and special events in a spectacular natural setting.

Whether you're seeking hiking, adventure, or a nature-filled family outing, Canyon Sainte-Anne is a must-see destination in the Québec region.
