Overview
Montmorency Falls (Chute Montmorency) is one of Quebec’s most spectacular natural attractions, located just a few miles from Quebec City’s cruise port. At 272 feet (83 meters), the falls are taller than Niagara Falls and offer breathtaking views year-round. Cruise passengers docking in Quebec City often take shore excursions to Montmorency Falls, combining natural scenery with cultural experiences.
The site features walking trails, suspension bridges, cable cars, and panoramic viewpoints. In winter, the falls partially freeze, creating the famous “sugar loaf” ice formation. In summer, the area is lush and perfect for outdoor exploration.
Ascend alongside the falls for sweeping views of the St. Lawrence River.
Tip: Best for panoramic photography.
Cross directly above the waterfall for thrilling perspectives.
Tip: Hold onto your hat—it can be windy.
Walk down 487 steps for close-up views of the cascading water.
Tip: Wear comfortable shoes for the climb.
Fly across the falls on a high-speed zipline.
Tip: Book early as spots fill quickly in summer.
Visit the historic manor house with exhibits and dining options.
Tip: Try local specialties at the restaurant.
Witness the frozen “sugar loaf” at the base of the falls.
Tip: Dress warmly and bring traction footwear.
