About location

The St. Lawrence River defines the setting of Le Massif de Charlevoix — the broad estuary below its forested mountainside gives this Québec resort an unusually direct relationship with the water. In Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, Le Massif is a four-season mountain destination whose lift network serves alpine ski terrain and summer mountain activities. Its upper sector lies in the Laurentian Mountains, while the lower slopes descend toward the river shore. The resort belongs to the wider Charlevoix region, recognized by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve, where coastal communities, woodland and agricultural land share the north shore of the St. Lawrence. The steep terrain facing the estuary is a defining feature of this part of Québec.

Canada has served as a frontier between French and British colonial powers since the 17th century. The world’s second-largest country extends from Atlantic shores to the Pacific and Arctic coasts, with the Canadian Shield, the Rocky Mountains, the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River shaping its vast geography. First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life. French remains the official language of Quebec, adding a distinct dimension to the country’s public culture. See how Canada connects across North America by browsing webcams in neighbouring regions.
