Le Massif de Charlevoix

Starting September 19, Le Massif will launch its first mountain biking season, with about 20 km (12.4 miles) of mountain biking trails across the greatest vertical drop east of the Rockies. The gondola will take you to the top of the mountain. These trails are open to all, beginners and experts alike, and stretch through the gorgeous scenery Le Massif is known for. During your visit, you can participate in other activities or stay at the accommodations onsite.

Come and discover the hiking trails of the Massif, with spectacular views of the St. Lawrence River. Departures at the top or at the base of the mountain. Access to the hiking trails is free.

Take advantage of the gondola to facilitate your hikes during our operations this fall, within Le Massif en Couleurs.

The off-piste sector is located on Mount Liguori, north of the station. There are 3 summits, 800m, 550m and 425m, all accessible with backcountry skins or by bootpacking. To access this area, you must have your alpine touring access right or a lift ticket. Sector 800 is accessible via the Camp-Boule sector, at the very beginning of La Fortin. You can see a poster with a map of the area. Sector 550 is accessible at the base of the Camp-Boule chairlift. For sector 425, it is accessible via the bottom of the 4, in sector 550.

At one hour from Québec City, Le Massif has the highest vertical drop east of the Canadian Rockies (770 m/2,625 ft.). With its skiable terrain and slopes that seem to plunge straight down into the sea, the mountain is also renowned for its impressive annual snowfall (over 600 cm/236 in.). Try the new 7.5 km (4.5 mi.) tobogganing run on natural snow. Expert skiers can explore close to 100 acres of off-trail terrain. A thrilling winter sport destination!
