Frequently asked questions

What's the most intense moment on this via ferrata?
The exposure on the vertical sections of the Bras-du-Nord Valley walls is where most participants feel the biggest rush. You're clipped in the whole time, but the drop beneath your feet is real and unobstructed.
Do you need to be afraid of heights to feel the adrenaline?
No prior fear of heights is required to feel it. The combination of physical effort on the iron rungs and cables with open exposure to the valley below gets the heart rate up on its own.
How physically demanding is the 2h to 3h session?
Aventurex rates it "Occasionally sporty", meaning you'll work your arms, legs and core on the ladders and traverses, but you don't need to be an athlete. A basic level of fitness and no major upper-body limitations is enough.
What's the best time of year to do this route?
The season runs from May through October. Mid-summer gives you the longest daylight and driest rock, but September offers cooler temperatures and fewer crowds on the route.

May – October

Equipment

Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with ankle support and bring a light layer, since rock faces in the Bras-du-Nord Valley can feel cooler than the surrounding air. For a 2h to 3h "Occasionally sporty" outing, pack at least 1 liter of water and a small snack.

Getting there

Head to Accueil Shannahan at 2180 rang Saguenay, Saint-Raymond, Québec, roughly 60 km northwest of Québec City via Route 365.
