A breathtaking canyon with swirls, waterfalls, ice and rocks. Several bridges lead over the canyon, so you can even better look down into the gorge. At one point, the Maligne River has cut into the rock up to 50 meters deep. But beware: Since the canyon is also accessible by car, it can be very crowded, depending on the year and time.

The canyon can be explored via hiking trails of varying lengths, crossed by several bridges. It is absolutely breathtaking.
