E-Bike to Montmorency Falls: 26km Ride, Cable Car Views & Suspension Bridge
Ride quiet lanes and waterfront views to reach Montmorency Falls—a higher, wilder cousin of Niagara. This guided e‑bike tour combines Domaine de Maizerets gardens, Bay of Beauport panoramas, and a cable car ascent to the cliff top.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring a refillable water bottle
Water is permitted and the ride includes brief stops—refill before departure to stay hydrated on the 26 km loop.
Dress in layers and include a light rain shell
Spray from the falls and changing river winds make a windproof, quick‑dry layer useful even on warm days.
Choose the e‑bike if unsure about distance
E‑bikes reduce effort on climbs and crosswinds—recommended if you don’t regularly ride 26 km.
Secure electronics against spray
Use a waterproof case or ziplock for cameras and phones while at the boardwalk and bridge.
