The Itinerary
Montmorency Falls, just 12 km from Old Quebec, is 30% higher than Niagara Falls (83 m). In summer, a high suspension bridge, cable car and via ferrata trails allow close-up access.
In winter, the "Pain de Sucre" (Sugarloaf) — a 30-m ice cone formed by freezing spray — becomes a natural slide. The restored Manoir Montmorency overlooks the falls and houses a gourmet restaurant with spectacular views.
