A season full of discoveries at Val-Jalbert!
The entire team at the Historical village of Val-Jalbert is hard at work preparing to welcome you when the summer season opens on May 16 at 10 h. Once again this year, history, nature, and authenticity come together to ensure you have unforgettable moments with family or friends. A new calendar of special events has been put together to offer a vibrant summer to our visitors and passport holders.
About the cable car
To provide you with the highest-quality facilities, we are currently carrying out a complete refurbishment of our cable car cabins. A slight delay in delivery from our supplier means we will have to wait a few more weeks before they are back in service, which is scheduled for early July 2026.
To ensure transparency and to make your experience as enjoyable as possible, we will apply a discount of 10 $ (taxes included) on the admission price at the ticket office until the cabin return.
The Ouiatchouan Waterfall from every angle
Even if the cable car takes a short break, the majestic waterfall and the river remain the site's natural highlights!
Take advantage of the start of the season to explore some spectacular viewpoints:
- The Glass observation deck: For a thrilling experience as the waterfall vibrates beneath your feet.
- The roof of the mini-power plant: A breathtaking and accessible view of the power of water.
- The power plant tour: From the small power plant to the old turbine, offering a unique view of the waterfall.
- The stair challenge: For the more athletic, the staircase with 764 steps awaits you (the first lookout point is reached after 500 steps). Be careful and enjoy your hike.
