Villa Chalet Charlevoix Quebec is centrally located in the village of Petite-Rivière-St-François, just 10 km east of Le Massif de Charlevoix ski resort and 50 km east of Mont Sainte-Anne ski resort. Just 10 km east is the internationally renowned artisan town of Baie-St-Paul and the Casino Charlevoix is also close by, just 70 km east in La Malbaie.
Le Massif de Charlevoix is a ski mountain located in Petite-Rivière-Saint François, Charlevoix, Québec, CANADA, a 70 km (44 miles) drive east from Quebec City. Overlooking the St. Lawrence River, it has the highest vertical (2,527 ft) east of the Canadian Rockies.
Apart from a big vertical drop and lots of snow, Le Massif de Charlevoix is unique in that the area is accessible both from the top and from the base. The skiing season usually lasts from early December to late April. There are three peaks, two of which are currently developed. Le Massif has 53 total runs, supported by a high-speed gondola and 3 detachable quads, which provides an overall lift capacity of 11,200 skiers per hour. Since 2005, Jean-Luc Brassard, the 1994 Olympic Champion in freestyle mogul skiing, became a spokesman for Le Massif. Jean-Luc is regularly spotted cordially engaging skiers at Le Massif on the snow conditions and best trails of the day.
Le Massif de Charlevoix gets a lot of snow, and keeps it, as the region gets little rain for an eastern North American ski area. The natural snowpack (in the trails) can exceed eight feet at the summit during a typical winter. However, since the base is at sea level, it can lose its snow quickly during the spring thaw.
The town of Baie-Saint-Paul showcases our regional culinary and artistic talent. Menus in the bistro restaurants feature local products (Produits du Terroir) and numerous art galleries frame the main street, making for an enjoyable walk.
