Fodor's Review:
No trip to Montréal is complete without a visit to the terrace in front of the Chalet du Mont-Royal. It's not the only place to go to get an overview of the city, the river, and the countryside beyond, but it's the most spectacular. On clear days you can see not just the downtown skyscrapers, but Mont-Royal's sister mountains -- Monts St-Bruno, St-Hilaire, and St-Grégoire -- as well. These isolated peaks, called the Montérégies, or Mountains of the King, rise dramatically from the flat countryside. Beyond them, you might be able to see the northern reaches of the Appalachians. Be sure to take a look inside the chalet, especially at the murals depicting scenes from Canadian history. There's a snack bar in the back.
