The Frozen Beauty of Montmorency Falls
The frozen beauty of Montmorency Falls in Quebec City will never fail to delight your naked eye. In winter, when the city is literally enveloped in inches of snow and in sub zero Celsius, Montmorency Falls, which is higher than the world-famous Niagara Falls, shows its beauty that you would never forget. Believe it or not, visitors get up close—so close you’d be in awe how the power, beauty and danger of nature is rolled into one to create a mesmerizing scenery you’d never tire of snapping photos or selfies–in every angle possible.

I started exploring on this snow-covered hanging bridge.
The Falls is just few meters under my feet.
Looking down can be a scary or can be a really cool experience.
The frozen water looks like stalactites or stalagmites.
It looks dangerous but breathtakingly wonderful.
Which way now? The stairs are buried in snow.
Here’s the view from above. So white, so tiny, so stunning!
These snow mobile riders are taking a break while taking in the view.
Taking the cable car is another option to go down.
You can see the bird’s eye view of the whole frozen paradise. And see some cheesy snow art.
This mound of snow is so pure and so photogenic.
It’s a gorgeous spot for a selfie!
Or a challenging curve to climb!
And a perfect place to slide down!
And when you’re up there, nothing beats the feeling of conquering it like Mt. Everest. 😀
Frozen Niagara Falls? That’s nothing compared to the frozen beauty of Montmorency Falls!
Here, you can get close and personal with the raging waterfalls.
You can roam around free.
And check out the frozen, natural ice carvings.
You can go ice climbing!
Or ice rapelling, too!
And look like Spider-Man! 😀
Or crawl. Risk your life. Because adventure! 😀
You can’t really go up there if you’re wearing a loubotin. Wear a good pair of shoes!
Montmorency Falls is 30 meters higher than Niagara Falls.
And it’s beautiful when you see it frozen, closer than what you can imagine.
If you’re thinking of going there, be there during the Quebec Winter Carnaval.
There are many things to do and see during the Carnaval.
And you’ll never dread or experience winter the same way again.
You say, “I hate winter.”?
Now, I say, ” I heart winter!”
And oh, do you ever wonder what Montmorency Falls look like in summer? Here it is.

WHERE TO STAY IN QUEBEC CITY
If you are looking for a good youth hostel in Quebec City, I’d recommend staying at the HI Quebec-Auberge Internationale de Quebec Hostel. It’s located right inside Old Quebec and walking distance to everything you want to see, do and eat in the city.
