Montreal Tower

The highest inclined tower in the world, the Montréal Tower has a 175-metre elevation and a 45-degree angle. With the Stadium, it is one of the most identifiable symbols for Montréal throughout the world. Each year, hundreds of thousands of visitors go up to the Observatory of this one-of-a-kind building. The Observatory provides a breathtaking, panoramic view of Montréal. On a clear day, you can see up to 80 kilometres. The architectural beauty of the Stadium and its Tower were duly recognized in 1988 when the Green Guide (Michelin) gave the OIympic Park two three-star ratings; one for the view from the Observatory and the other for its quadrangle.

The two-level glass cable car is the only one in the world that can accommodate 76 passengers at the same time, or 500 people per hour. It is also the only one in the world that works on a curved and inclined structure; a hydraulic system allows the cabin to remain horizontal at all times as it glides up the back of the Tower.
