Just one hour from beautiful Quebec City, Le Massif de Charlevoix towers above the St Lawrence River—offering the highest vertical drop east of the Canadian Rockies at 770 meters. This resort is the vision of Daniel Gauthier, founder of Le Cirque du Soleil, and delivers spectacular river views with challenging terrain for experienced skiers.
With 52 trails across 406 acres, Le Massif features some of Eastern Canada's steepest slopes, including La Charlevoix at 64% pitch. The resort's unique location on the escarpment means you can ski from summit to base with the river flowing past below—a truly one-of-a-kind experience.
Beyond skiing, Charlevoix offers mountain sledding down Mont Liguori, backcountry tours, helicopter flights, and snowshoeing through pristine trails. The region's natural beauty and authentic Quebec charm make it perfect for those seeking adventure off the beaten path.
Skican regularly features specialty Ski Packages and Hosted Ski Escapes, however, we don't have any to show you right now. Make sure you check back soon - these unique, high demand ski vacations are released throughout the season and have limited availability.
