Montmorency Falls (Chute Montmorency) is located on the Montmorency River in Quebec, Canada. The river flows south from the Laurentian Mountains and drops over a massive cliff before emptying into the St. Lawrence River, which is situated directly at the base of the falls. Interestingly, the falls are actually 30 meters (98 feet) taller than Niagara Falls, standing at a total height of 83 meters (272 feet). In 2026, the site is a major tourist destination just 15 minutes from Quebec City, featuring a suspension bridge that allows visitors to walk directly over the crest of the falls to feel the power of the Montmorency River. During the winter, the mist from the river creates a famous "sugar loaf" (pain de sucre)—a massive cone of ice that forms at the base. The river itself is an important geographical feature of the region, and the surrounding park offers various cable car rides and via ferrata climbing routes that provide breathtaking views of where the Montmorency meets the historic St. Lawrence.
