Montmorency Falls

Highlight • Waterfall

A great way to explore is by walking across the suspension bridge that hangs directly over the crest of the falls. From there, you can look straight down into the tumbling white water. If you enjoy a challenge, you can climb the panoramic staircase with its 487 steps to get incredible views from different heights. For a more relaxing ride, you can take the cable car up the cliff face.

Jacques-Cartier / Portneuf Bike Path

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Vélopiste Jacques-Cartier / Portneuf is a 68-kilometre multi-use rail trail built along a former railway corridor, linking Saint-Gabriel-de-Valcartier to Rivière-à-Pierre, passing through forest and along rivers, lakes, and small communities northwest of Québec City. The Shannon to Sainte-Catherine-de-la-Jacques-Cartier section follows one of the trail’s quieter stretches, passing through picturesque wooded landscapes and open views near the Jacques-Cartier River on a gentle, crushed-stone surface that's ideal for cycling and walking. Connected to Québec City via the Corridor des Cheminots, the route combines easy grades with peaceful scenery and access to nearby outdoor recreation, making it one of the region’s most popular long-distance trails.
