La Vallée des Glaces: Full-Scale Excitement

During the cold winter months, below the cliffs of the Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie provincial park, the river slumbers, bidding welcome to outdoor enthusiasts. At this time of year, the area is adorned with unique and spectacular landscapes. Travelling on the frozen river, you can admire views unlike anything you’d see at any other time of the year, bringing moments of pure wonder as you gaze up at the towering icefalls and majestic mountains all around you. Being able to travel on the frozen river is an experience in and of itself: you really do feel small in the heart of the immense, deep valley!
