Secure family fun. You are going to experience our Canadian nature in a new unexpected way!

No outdoor experience or high level of fitness is necessary. This activity is family friendly for children and seniors. The Giant’s Pothole Via Ferrata package is available from early May through mid-October. It’s possible to experience the Giant’s Pothole Via Ferrata year round. Contact us!

Via Ferrata

This activity invites you to slip into a harness, strap on a helmet and clip onto a steel cable to explore along a circuit on Canyon Sainte-Anne’s sheer rock walls. Feel and hear the powerful waterfall thundering down the cliff face beside you. Each step along the anchored metal rungs presents heady panoramas of pristine forest, and the wild Sainte-Anne-du-Nord River that carved this gorge and the intriguing Giant’s Pothole geological formation.
