Activities for the general public

Guided walking tours, thematic events and conferences give Montrealers and tourists a chance to discover the many secrets of the mountain.

Several itineraries for guided tours are available to discover the hidden facets of Mount Royal. Groups who wish may also request itineraries tailored to their needs.

In addition, throughout the seasons, thematic activities are proposed to visitors to increase their appreciation of the mountain, such as a discovery of landscape from the look-outs, and awareness-raising of the issues related to the park’s use. Furthermore, events are organized to create memorable experiences, such as Les amis de la montagne’s participation in the Montreal All-Nighter held as part of the Montreal High Lights Festival, which takes place every winter.

Conferences are also held periodically at the Smith House. Finally, some activities directly involve the public in the conservation of Mount Royal, such as the Corvée du Mont-Royal clean-up, organized the first Sunday in May each year.

Consult the "Calendar of Events" section on our site.
