Mount Royal is one of Montréal’s most popular locations. Its urban forest faces natural threats as well as the impacts of park visitation by several million people each year. Improving the management of waste, recyclables and organic matter is an effective way to improve the resilience of its green spaces.
Come celebrate Valentine’s Day in the great outdoors! Nature lovers will flush with pleasure on romantic evening snowshoe excursions while families explore snowy trails to their heart’s content.
Mount Royal is your one-stop destination for winter fun under the stars! Tobogganing, skating, cross-country skiing and snowshoeing all make for unforgettable moments with friends on the mountain. And if you need a little warmth, the Café des Amis overlooking Beaver Lake is a cozy place for drinks and food.
Even in winter, the emerald ash borer remains a matter of concern. Just as the snow season is off to a start, the City of Montréal is undertaking felling operations in several large parks across Montréal, including Mount Royal. Operations aim to ensure the safety of visitors and limit the propagation of this insect pest. In all cases, efforts will be made to reduce the impact on park users.
Don’t let winter slip away without heading to the mountain for a cool activity with the kids. Skating, snow tubing, snow shoeing or hiking in the forest… Winter is already off to a good start on Mount Royal!

Since our creation over 30 years ago, Les amis de la montagne has been drawing our strength from an ever-growing community of volunteers. In 1998, this was taken a step further with the launch of the Environmental Stewardship Program, which allows Montrealers to play an active role in the conservation of Mount Royal's natural habitats.
The dog days of summer have made way for the crisp temperatures and bright colours of autumn, the perfect time of the year to hike the mountain. Join our guided nature walks for a memorable experience on Mount Royal full of fun, facts and gorgeous flora!
A brand-new entrance allows residents and visitors to access Mount Royal Park on the mountain’s western side via Côte-des-Neiges Rd. The repurposed area, a former limestone quarry, now showcases native vegetation, a rocky promontory, as well as a new staircase and paved way leading to Olmsted Path.
Last Sunday, May 5, hundreds of enthusiastic volunteers of all ages answered our call to join in the annual spring cleaning of Mount Royal Park’s wooded areas! Even the sun was on hand for this special event! New this year, this 28th edition of the Mount Royal Clean-Up included sorting residual materials as well as collecting waste in the mountain’s woodlands.
