Westmount Summit and Summit Woods (Sommet Westmount)
When Mount Royal's too crowded, I head to Westmount's summit. It's a quieter wooded hilltop in the city's most affluent neighbourhood, with a lookout over downtown and the river, and a loop through Summit Woods that locals use for tempo runs and hill repeats. The climb up through the elegant streets is itself a workout. Far fewer runners than the mountain, with nearly as good a view.
A quieter wooded summit in affluent Westmount with a lookout over the skyline and river — a local favourite for tempo runs and hill repeats away from the crowds.
