Visited Parc de la Chute Montmorency on December 23rd, 2024. We arrived on a Monday and found that it wasn’t overcrowded, which was nice for a more peaceful experience.

This is a full 5 plus. It's an incredible waterfall that is higher than Niagara falls. You can walk up to the top or take the cable car Either way the view is spectacular.

Buying your ticket on the spot will be a hassle since the visitor’s center is crazy busy. The highlight of our visit is ...
In summer, add the guided historic tour and zipline for warm-weather thrills. In fall, picnic amid colorful foliage. In winter, paths can be icy—wear crampons and use the cable car to avoid stairs. Early spring trails stay muddy; choose waterproof boots.
