Summit Circle Lookout Montreal

Amazing viewpoint

Jérémie from Montreal

My work is my best travel agency, I’m a color scientist, and since the early 2000s, I started to explore other countries and cities where my specialty brought me. Originally from Paris where I always like to go back, I lived in Oslo, Berlin (where I used to be a spotter as well), and now in Montreal since 2017.

""Summit Circle Lookout" amazing viewpoint on Montreal toward the East from Westmount, St-Henri, Verdun and more. I discovered it while jogging..."

This is an amazing viewpoint on Montreal toward the East from Westmount, St-Henri, Verdun, and more. I discovered it while jogging around trying to go higher and higher after crossing King George park. Even my local friends asked me where this place is when I showed them pictures of what you see from there. Often they know about Belvedère Outremont which offers a view toward the West, but rarely are they aware of this one.

Some people do know about it -- there are often cars parked for a few minutes, time to take a few selfies, or the bicycle enthusiasts arriving from Mont-Royal to add some climbs in their city path or me.

But if you belong to none of these groups of people, there is still a solution to go there: take bus line 11 (a great bus line crossing Mont-Royal), you will arrive from the back of Summit Woods -- it's easy to find where to stop when you look at the bus path or simply ask the driver. Then you will have to climb some stairs, walk on the former road around the summit turned into a park, on the other side the landscape and the Summit Look Out will reveal themselves. From there, you just need to continue in the same direction by going down toward St-Henri or catch a bus on Sherbrooke Street to go to your next destination.

Montreal Spotter Jérémie

My work is my best travel agency, I’m a color scientist, and since the early 2000s, I started to explore other countries and cities where my specialty brought me. Originally from Paris where I always like to go back, I lived in Oslo, Berlin (where I used to be a spotter as well), and now in Montreal since 2017. I’m finally working in the movie industry after joining the VFX studio DNEG at their Montreal office in the summer of 2022. I like to take pictures, to stay creative, and I’m always ready for city exploration on my bike or in my running shoes. If you like art galleries, music shops, and...
