Mount Royal

A beautiful urban mountain climb, rich foliage, easy smooth roads and pathways. There are some side paths with a bit more extreme hiking but mostly it’s a nice easy ride up the mountain for a family adventure, a bike ride, or a morning jog. The Pavilion and plaza at the top are graced with an excellent view of the city

Somebody is missing out on a tremendous business opportunity by not building a lift to this place. Hiking to it in the winter, when 2 feet of snow are packed into solid ice, was not what we expected. Google gave us some funky directions and my fiancée literally had to crawl on her hands at some steep spots where there was nothing but ice. Somehow we got there though. To say that the breathtaking view was worth it would be an understatement. The setting sun was casting a beautiful shadow covering the mountain and separating it from the city. It was a beautiful day with no clouds and we could see absolutely everything within tens of miles of radius. Hiking to the top is definitely something you shouldn’t miss when you visit Montreal. It’s free (for now), it’s a great workout, and a fantastic photo op. We truly appreciate the coffee shops in the chalet on the top, where we had a chance to rest a bit. The chalet is impressively big. The stairs in front of it offer an equally mesmerizing view of the whole area. We are very impressed and would definitely visit Mount Royal again.

Mont Royal is a must-visit in Montreal! Great for a scenic walk and amazing views. I went twice during a full moon—watching the moonrise was magical. It’s crowded, with obvious reason, but totally worth it!

Mount Royal in winter is a beautiful spot to visit, with a nice, easy hike that offers amazing views of Montreal. The snow-covered paths and peaceful atmosphere make it a great place to escape the city for a while. Whether you’re walking, skating, or just taking in the view, Mount Royal is a lovely place to enjoy the winter season.

Very impressive climb to reach it. View is great for observing fireworks and eclipses, though the crowd is a bit daunting. Unfortunate that so many smokers hang around the area

You can enjoy this beautiful view of the Montreal. It needs a few minutes walking but it worths . In the destination, there is an indoor place for taking rest, there is clean restrooms and also cafe shops. For going back from this place, there is another way going down by stairs, it’s more enjoyable walking through the nature.

Visiting Mount-Royal, most of my family was tired, as we had just been on a bike around the city of Old Montreal, but what we experienced made us forget our lethargy. The trails that went higher up the mountain were devoid of noise, and on a sunny day, it was so quiet and peaceful that we felt like we had left Earth for another plane. The view at the top that showcased the skyline of Montreal was stunning, and we got to learn a little bit about the history of the city.

Great view of Montreal city from Mont Royal. A great place for hiking, walking. You may see racoons here...
