At the foot of Mont Sainte-Anne, Canyoning-Québec offers a summer experience in the Jean-Larose. The canyoning is the perfect activity to easily discover the vertical water fall. An exclusive product in North America! Outdoor and summer sports amateurs can rappel down and enjoy the spectacular 41-meter 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 rock climbing but descent on falls, an easier and less physical activity, still with the vertical thrill.
