This place is a must to visit if you're in Montreal! I went to this mountain during the winter time, and the mountain looked so beautiful! I'm sure this place is wonderful all year around.
You can hike up the mountain or drive up. My hubby and I drove up and ended up at Beaver Lake. You can take the stairs up as well, which happened to be opened even during the winter season. There was a building there beside Beaver Lake where you can rent skis & skates for a small price. Beaver Lake was frozen and many people were ice-skating on it. Kids were enjoying their time tobogganing and many others were having a great time skiing.
Up on the mountain, there is a boutique and small cafe in the Smith House. The boutique was nothing special; it was like a store you would find at the zoo. Also, on the top of the mountain you have a breathtaking view of the city below- worth seeing!
