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. There water going over the falls can fill an Olympic size pool every second! Another not to be missed sight/site in the Quebec city area .

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, arrive before noon to avoid crowds and bring sun hats; in winter, wear crampons for icy trails and note that zipline and via ferrata close mid-December to March.
