The clifftop area provides historical sites and the highest vantage points over the 83-meter (272.3-foot) falls.
The upper section of Montmorency Falls sits high above the Saint Lawrence River. You can reach this area by taking the cable car or climbing the 487-step panoramic staircase.
From here, you get a clear vertical view of the water dropping into the gorge. The upper park holds the primary visitor facilities and access to the seasonal adventure courses.
15 minutesDirectly over falls
This pedestrian footbridge spans directly over the roaring crest of the falls. It allows you to stand right above the 83-meter (272.3-foot) drop. Cross early in the morning before the sun warms the gorge and increases the mist.
30-60 minutesRestaurant and shop
This building is a historic reconstruction of an English villa. It now houses a restaurant, a gift shop, and an interpretation center. Stop by the terrace for a lunch or coffee break overlooking the Saint Lawrence River.
1-2 hoursBook in advance
These seasonal activities let you scale the rock walls or cross the falls' cove on a double zipline. The courses operate mainly between May and October. Book these activities weeks in advance during the busy summer season.
