Tourisme vert à Montréal

1. A natural environment
1.1. Geography (cont'd)
• The Outremont summit (or Colline d’Outremont) is also known as Mount Murray.
• The summit is covered with trees and so does not provide a lookout. However, a promontory
overlooking the Université de Montréal provides an impressive panorama of the north of Montréal and
the region.
• The upper part of Mount Royal Cemetery offers views of the east of the city.
• A new 23-hectare park will be created on Mount Royal’s third summit by combining properties and
resources of the Notre Dame des Neiges Cemetery, the Université de Montréal, the City of Montréal
and the Québec government.
Jeanne Mance Park, situated at the foot of the mountain’s eastern slope, is an integral part of Mount
Royal.
• In topographical and landscape terms it is a continuation of Mount Royal Park, and together the two
make up a remarkable landscape ensemble that adds to the public perception of the mountain.
• The Park is an important outdoor recreation site for Montréalers and particularly those in the Plateau-
Mont-Royal and Ville-Marie boroughs; it has a wide variety of heavily used sports facilities.
