On the slopes

When you choose to ski Le Massif de Charlevoix, regardless of your ability you will have a great time. Of the 36 slopes, around 50% are for beginners or intermediates, and 50% for advanced and experts. The longest slope is 4.8kms, but there are just five lifts providing access to the piste.

Not the largest ski resort, but travel in February for the best snow conditions or rely on the 75% of piste coverage by the new cannon system - which is especially important for th elower slopes due to the altitude. Skiing and snowboarding here are excellent for the quieter pistes during the week and there's a good terrain park that will be served by it's own lift in the 2010-2011 season.

Off the slopes

There is no accommodation at the resort, but Le Massif has an impressive range of facilities, including boutiques, shops, cafés and pubs. However, the nearby towns and villages offer a good range of bed-and-breakfasts, motels, chalets and villas. There's also a great range of alternative activities including sit-ski and telemark lessons, and more relaxing spa treatments such as massages, spas, saunas and pressure therapy.

WE LIKE

  • Variation of runs is great for all levels - meaning family holidays work really well here
  • Large and steep drops from the top offers real challenging stuff
  • This resort is ideal for intermediates and advanced skiers and snowboarders

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Only 5 lifts means at busy periods the queues can build
  • The cold - in Jan and Feb it can be bitterly bitterly cold with the North wind and very low temperatures - you are warned!
  • Gets very busy in peak holiday perdiods - best to avoid those times for piste and lifts are horrendous
