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.
