Start the Day with Montmorency Falls

Your journey begins just 15 minutes from downtown Quebec City at Montmorency Falls, one of the province’s most stunning natural wonders. Towering at 83 meters, these falls are nearly 30 meters higher than Niagara Falls and offer an exhilarating spectacle of cascading water.

Walk across the suspension bridge for panoramic views, or take the cable car for a bird’s-eye perspective of the falls and the surrounding landscapes. For the adventurous, a staircase leading to the base provides a close-up encounter with the roaring power of nature. No matter your vantage point, the falls’ sheer beauty and power will leave you in awe.
