PARC DE LA CHUTE-MONTMORENCY
She is one of the great stars of the Quebec City region, with her impressive fall reaching a height of 83 metres.
Although not as wide as Niagara Falls, the jump is some 30 metres higher. The site has been designed to offer visitors breathtaking views (cable car, panoramic staircase, suspension bridge, lookouts, walking trails and picnic areas). The waterfall is even more spectacular in winter, when it is frozen over and the "sugar loaf", a huge cone of ice formed by the crystallization of suspended water vapour, is created: a curiosity in itself that always attracts many people. Overlooking the falls, the Manoir Montmorency, an elegant villa rebuilt as it was in the 18th century, houses an interpretation center devoted to the history of the site, a terrace restaurant and a souvenir store.
Access: the park is located 12 km east of Old Quebec. Access to the upper part is via avenue Royale (route 360 - home to the manor house, via ferrata and zip line) and to the lower part via boulevard Sainte-Anne (route 138 - home to the main train station).
On-site services: terrace restaurant, sandwich shop, food truck, snack bar, dairy counter, boutiques, guided tours and activities in season, outdoor activities (hiking trails and boardwalks, three via ferrata courses, zip line, ice climbing, snowshoe rentals, etc.) and programming of special activities and events. To look out for in 2024: the new semi-submerged floating footbridge.
