Experience Mount Royal Through Your Senses

You know how beautiful autumn is, but do you know what it smells like? Have you ever tasted Goldenrod?

Come explore Mount Royal park on a forest walk interspersed with elements designed to stimulate your senses. Close your eyes and experience the mountain from another perspective! Discover what’s hidden behind the landscape, beyond what we can see.

As part of the Paroles de paysages project, Les Amis de la Montagne, in partnership with non-profit organization Portrait Sonore and the ASAMM,* invites you to come enjoy this one-of-a-kind experience. Sophie Mankowski from Portrait Sonore will help you reconnect with nature with a few excerpts from “To the Root of the Tree,”  her immersive documentary designed to awaken your senses to the secrets of nature.

* ASAMM : Association des sports pour aveugles du Montréal métropolitain
