Activity description

Take advantage of the great Canadian air and discover the Bras-du-Nord Valley from the heights thanks to the via ferrata du Nord, only one hour from Quebec City!

Located northwest of Quebec City, the Bras-du-Nord Valley surrounds the tributary of the same name. It is a large and extraordinary natural site where it is possible to practice various outdoor sports, including via ferrata. You can enjoy superb views of the Bras-du-Nord Valley from the rock face of the via du Nord course!

Aventurex invites you to join their guides at the Shannahan welcome station to receive instructions on the via ferrata before heading to the site. Experienced and qualified, the guides will make you feel confident on the course, while ensuring your safety. Depending on what you want to do, you can also complete your via ferrata with a 150-metre long triple zip line or a 50-metre abseil, or even both for the more adventurous! Those not doing the abseiling will have to walk back down the mountain on a hiking trail.

If you are interested in this incredible mix of hiking and climbing, don't hesitate to try the via du Nord to get the most out of it and admire the Bras-du-Nord Valley from a new angle!

About an hour from Quebec City, it's the ideal activity to spend a good time in the Canadian countryside, whether in summer or even in autumn, facing the splendid palette of colours of the valley's trees.
