Outdoor clubs in Montreal.
2 clubs, and when they meet. Most meet on weekends, around Mount Royal. All of them are free to join. Subscribe to this calendar →
What to expect.
Hiking groups, climbing meetups, cycling clubs, paddling and skating around Montreal. Outdoor groups are the least likely to meet at the same spot every week, because the route changes, so many are listed with their day and a link to where the week's meet is announced.
Read the week's plan on their page before you go. It will tell you the distance, the pace and what to bring, and it is the only place a weather call is made.
All 2 outdoor clubs in Montreal.
A to Z, in each club's own words. Every one links to the club, and every day and time is the one the club publishes.
Small, friendly Sunday walks and easy hikes around the island's nature parks, meeting at a metro station. People come as much to practise languages as to walk.
Sundays, time varies · Free · meetup.com →Weekly Sunday-morning climb of the Peel steps and the Mount Royal trails, starting at the foot of the stairs on avenue des Pins. A big mixed group that also posts out-of-town hikes and restaurant meetups.

Questions people actually ask.
How hard are the outings?
Each group grades its own, and the grade is on the week's post, not here. Most hiking and cycling groups run an easy option alongside the main one. Start with the easy one.
Do I need gear?
For hiking, proper footwear, water and layers. For climbing, most meetups are at a gym that rents shoes and a harness. Cycling clubs expect a working bike and a helmet. Anything unusual is on the group's page.
Are they free?
Mostly. Some clubs charge an annual membership that covers insurance, which is normal for cycling and paddling. Gym meetups cost whatever the gym charges for entry.
Every listing links straight to the club. Know a outdoor club in Montreal we don’t? Add it.
