Introduction

Montmorency Falls is northeast of Quebec City where the Montmorency River meets the St. Lawrence, about 83 m high—about 30 m higher than the famous Niagara Falls, one of Quebec's most spectacular waterfalls. The rushing water plunges from the cliff, mist filling the air—majestic. Visitors ride a cable car to the cliff top, or walk the suspended footbridge across the top of the falls, overlooking from above the spectacular sight of water rushing into the river; wooden walkways and lookouts wind up the cliff for views from different angles. In winter the splashing mist freezes into a giant "sugar loaf" ice cone, and visitors can even ice-climb. Beautiful in every season with grand presence, Montmorency Falls is a natural wonder not to be missed near Quebec City.
