Montmorency Falls is an 83-metre (272-foot) waterfall on the Montmorency River just east of Québec City, taller than Niagara Falls and one of the most visited natural sites in the province.
Parc de la Chute-Montmorency, managed by Sépaq, offers a suspension footbridge over the crest, a cable car connecting the base to the clifftop Manoir Montmorency, and a via ferrata and zipline for more active visitors; a staircase of nearly 500 steps also links the two levels.
The park is open daily year-round, generally 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., though the cable car, staircase, and via ferrata run on their own seasonal schedules and the site is closed December 25; check Sépaq’s website for the current day’s hours before visiting.
When planning your Quebec City travel guide or browsing verified attractions in Quebec City, pair this stop with standout local spots including Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, Notre-Dame de Québec Basilica-Cathedral, Légende, and Parc de la Chute-Montmorency (0.3 km away).
