Hidden in the landscapes of Québec, where the St. Lawrence River meets the vistas of Charlevoix's mountains, lies Club Med Québec Charlevoix. Designed as Charlevoix's first all-inclusive resort, it offers an unparalleled experience for explorers and families alike. While its reputation as a skier’s haven precedes it, this resort is equally exceptional during the warmer months, providing a myriad of outdoor adventures, culinary delights, and opportunities to unwind.
A sanctuary for all seasons
Club Med Québec Charlevoix redefines the concept of an outdoor getaway, blending modern comforts with the incredible natural beauty of this UNESCO-designated World Biosphere Reserve. Whether you're watching the summer sun glittering on the St. Lawrence River or hiking rugged mountain trails, the surrounding environment promises a spectacular setting year-round.
But what elevates this resort beyond its idyllic location is its thoughtful design. With architecture inspired by traditional Canadian homes, the resort boasts expansive windows, open terraces, and wood-and-stone finishes that seamlessly merge with its surroundings. Its rooms, which cater to families, couples, and solo adventurers, are cosy and chic, offering options from Superior Rooms to Exclusive Collection Suites complete with concierge service and daily champagne.
Summer adventures that enchant
While the ski slopes surrounding Club Med Québec Charlevoix are widely celebrated, the summer experience here invites guests to explore a completely different facet of Canada. From mountain biking through scenic trails to themed guided hikes that explore the region's wildlife and history, there’s plenty to satisfy your need for adventure. The gondola ensures easy access to higher peaks, promising stunning views that make the effort worthwhile.
If you enjoy a slower pace, yoga and guided meditation amongst these serene surroundings promise moments of reflection and relaxation. For those drawn to the water, why not kayak along the shimmering St. Lawrence or fish for local delicacies?
A taste of Québec in every bite
Food lovers will find themselves delighted by the dining experiences at Club Med Québec Charlevoix. Working closely with local producers, the resort showcases Québec's culinary culture in every meal. The main buffet restaurant, Le Marché, offers international cuisine alongside regional specialties like cheeses, smoked meat, and, of course, maple syrup.
Le Chalet, an intimate gourmet lounge, takes things up a notch, providing tapas-style dishes with panoramic views of the river. A visit wouldn’t be complete without indulging in Québec’s famed comfort food of fondue and charcuterie boards.
Québec and Charlevoix at your fingertips
Though the resort offers enough to keep you entertained, stepping outside its grounds opens up a world of discovery. The surrounding Charlevoix region is dotted with charming villages, artisanal markets, and trails that wind through untouched national parks. Guests can join guided excursions to witness the grandeur of the Malbaie River’s towering cliffs or the unique flora and fauna of the boreal forests. Back on the water, boat tours reveal the maritime beauty of the area, with whale-watching cruises offering close encounters with majestic marine life. Closer to Québec City, history buffs can explore the cobblestone streets of Old Québec, a UNESCO World Heritage site bustling with culture and charm.
