Descend down a spectacular 40-metre frozen waterfall, surrounded by pristine winter wilderness. Mont Ste-Anne is the only place in North America where you can attempt ice canyoning, which combines hiking, rappelling, and climbing. Supplied with thick clothes and sharp crampons, the most dangerous part is crossing the road from the adjacent ski resort. Make your way through the woods, over the crystal ice formations to appreciate the beauty, and challenges, of the Quebecois winter.

Note from Robin : The waterfall is the cherry on the sundae, but walking through the winter wonderland forest is lovely, so take your time and enjoy. If you can, dig your crampons in and take a couple pictures while you’re up there!
