Chute à Philomène et Via Ferrata — Attraction in Saint-Alexandre-des-Lacs

Really cool stop along our tour of the Gaspésie Peninsula! We heard about this place, and although it's about 10 mins off the main highway, we thought it was absolutely worth it! There didn't seem to be an admission to get in to walk on the elevated platform (shocking!), which was really cool! We did the staircase hike down to the base of the waterfall, which was rather steep and angled intensely---not for those with reduced mobility or difficulties! The rocks at the bottom of the falls are jagged and slippery (obviously!), so be cautious with children and dogs!

BATHROOMS CLOSED...

We did a stop to see the falls. The suspended bridge was nice, there's lots of picnic tables to use. There's a trail to go to the bottom of the falls , but we didn't do it because of the weather. We enjoyed the scenery and the bridge .

The only reason I didn't give a 5 star is the toilets. There isn't any normal toilets to use. Only a pail under a seat with no lights and a wooden door. It stinks and its horrible. Couple of normal toilet stalls that flush and sink to wash hands would have made it...

Great place to visit. There are nice picnic tables for a quick picnic. I did not mountain bike but I think it would be a nice place to ride.

We hiked to the bottom of the falls. It was a very well maintained trail with a combination of stairs and step features.

The glass floor and over look were very nice. It moves when people walked on it so it’s a little frightening. But provides great views.

Definietly recommended a stop here if you are...
