At 165 metres high with a 45-degree angle, the Montréal Tower is the tallest inclined tower in the world. It is an architectural masterpiece, and the secret to its extraordinary tilt can be found in its complex internal structure.
The glass-encased funicular brings visitors on a breathtaking two-minute ride to the top of the Tower. This one-of-a-kind funicular can hold up to 50 passengers and is the only one in the world built along a curved structure.
The view of Montréal from the Tower’s Observatory is stunning in any season.
THE MONTREAL TOWER IS CLOSED FOR RENOVATION
The Olympic Park is undertaking a large renovation project to update the tourist areas of the Montreal Tower, with the goal of creating one of Quebec’s most incredible tourist experiences.
The Tourist Hall at the base and all tourist spaces located at the top of the Tower will be completely revamped, and renovations to the Observatory will include creating access to the Tower roof. The original funicular mechanism will be replaced with modern equipment and feature a cabin made almost entirely of glass.
The new Tower is set to reopen to visitors in Fall 2026, depending on the building schedule.
Souvenir shops
The Olympic Park has two souvenir shops: one at the summit, and one open in high season, located in the Tourist Hall at the foot of the Montréal Tower.
Our souvenir shops offer a variety of products, including postcards, t-shirts, and stuffed toys, as well as a selection of items exclusive to the Olympic Park, such as models of the Stadium.

The Montréal Tower funicular is the only one in the world that operates on a curved structure. Its hydraulic system allows the cabin to remain horizontal.
