The Festival de films de montagne returns to Montreal on November 25 and 26, 2026, bringing two days of mountain films to the city. It suits anyone drawn to the peaks, whether you climb, hike, or simply enjoy watching others do it from the comfort of a seat.
What to expect
The programme is built around films that celebrate climbing, alpine landscapes and outdoor adventure. Mountain films have a particular pull: they carry you into terrain most viewers will never reach on foot, and they show the effort, the weather and the quiet moments between the dramatic ones. Across two days, the festival gives you a steady run of such stories.
Why it makes a good visit
- It is a festival for enthusiasts, so you will be sitting among people who share your interest in the mountains.
- The format is two days, which makes it easy to fit around other plans in Montreal.
- For many visitors, the screenings are a way to share the thrill of high places with others who understand it.
Planning your trip
Montreal is a lively city to base yourself in during late November, with its restaurants, neighbourhoods and cultural life all close at hand. Plan to arrive before the first screening and check the festival's own channels for the schedule and ticketing details, which are not set out here. If you are coming from elsewhere in Canada or from abroad, allow time for travel, as November weather in Montreal can be cold.
