Les Amis de la montagne plays a leading role in serving the public in Mount Royal Park. The range of services we provide as part of an agreement with the City of Montréal aims to enhance visitors’ experience of the mountain.
Smith House
Please note that the Smith House has been closed since December 2024 for an indefinite period. You can find Les Amis de la montagne at the Mount Royal Chalet.
Headquarters of Les Amis since 1999, Smith House is a popular public gathering place in Mount Royal Park. We manage a welcome desk where visitors have access to comprehensive information on what to see and do in the park. Our free exhibition Mount Royal – A Territory to Discover provides a fascinating introduction to the mountain. Smith House is also home to a gift shop and outdoor café.
Café des Amis
Our two Café des Amis venues provide park visitors with a place to sit, relax and enjoy good food in a spectacular setting. Located at the Beaver Lake Pavilion and Mount Royal Chalet, each offers its own signature snacks and menu choices for families, hikers, skiers, skaters, snowshoers and other park users to enjoy.
Gift Shop
Located at the Mount Royal Chalet, our gift shop provide a warm welcome to a growing clientele seeking original souvenirs, maps, seasonal clothing and toys. Local artists, artisans and small businesses represent more than a third of our suppliers and their unique products are greatly appreciated.
Outdoor Equipment Rentals
During the summer season, the equipment rental service is located near the Beaver Lake and visitors can rent rowboats and outdoor games. During the winter season, the equipment rental service is located at the Beaver Lake Pavilion and offers visitors the opportunity to rent skates, cross-country skis, snowshoes, inner tubes, and various other equipment.
