By bicycle from Westmount to Montreal

Ready for an urban ride with a touch of elevation? This route kicks off in Westmount, one of Montreal’s greenest, wealthiest neighborhoods, famous for its leafy parks and turn-of-the-century homes. You’ll start with a bit of a climb (just over 200 meters of ascent!), so get those legs warmed up as you wind through quiet residential roads and peaceful pedestrian areas. The route is almost entirely paved or asphalt, though don’t be surprised if you hit a bit of gravel—keep your grip steady!

The journey rolls mostly along traffic-calmed streets and some dedicated cycleways, so it’s a chill ride without the stress of busy traffic. As you crest the high point near Westmount’s summit, soak in a view of the city before a gentle descent brings you toward downtown Montreal.

You’ll finish near Montreal’s vibrant core, where cafés, art venues, and historic streets await. The whole ride is about 5.6 km, making it perfect for a quick jaunt or as part of a longer day of city exploration. Enjoy the scenery and that sweet, speedy final downhill!
