Mount Royal Park, Montreal

Visitors to downtown Montreal can climb a staircase and trail that runs up from the city centre (near the McGill University campus) to the Mount Royal Chalet.

If you are visiting Montreal during the winter, you can enjoy outdoor skating on Beaver Lake.  The best time of year to visit the park is in autumn, when the leaves are ablaze with colour.
