No matter the season, panoramic views of the St. Lawrence River from Club Med Québec Charlevoix are infinite - it's sometimes hard to tell where the earth ends and the sky begins. Nestled between the Charlevoix escarpment and the St. Lawrence River, the resort, which opened in 2021, is located just an hour outside Québec City.
With the feel of the French Alps minus the much longer flight time, there are many reasons to put Club Med Québec Charlevoix on your 2025 travel bucket list.
Wellness
New this year, Club Med Québec's Wellness Fusion program provides a comprehensive itinerary focused on holistic well-being. Guests can enjoy healthy meals including organic and plant-based offerings crafted from premium ingredients, participate in mindfulness and yoga sessions, relax at the spa overlooking the St. Lawrence River, and reconnect with nature by exploring local surroundings. In addition to its on-site offerings, Club Med has partnered with well-known ambassadors in the wellness industry, including, most recently, Jonah Kest, who brings his expertise to Club Med yoga instructors across North America.
Seasonal Activities
Winter sports are a massive part of the resort's draw, with direct ski-in and ski-out access where skiing and snowboarding take center stage. While there are black and even triple black diamond runs, beginner and intermediate skiers have many green and blue trails to choose from. Skiers and snowboarders of all levels can access personal instruction, and little ones can take advantage of ski school. Club Med Québec Charlevoix also boasts one of the biggest vertical drops east of the Rockies (2,525 ft) and a nearly five-mile sled run. Those coming from sea level will not have to worry about acclimating because the resort sits at a comfortable 118 feet.
While ski season runs from November through early April, the resort is an excellent place to escape the Texas heat for a peaceful summer getaway. Gondola rides to the top of Le Massif de Charlevoix take guests to a number of hiking and biking trails where panoramic views and tree-clad paths are part of the appeal. For outdoor enthusiasts, the resort also offers kayaking and horseback riding as well as excursions to go whale watching, boating, and observing black bears in their natural habitat at nearby Malbaie National Park.
Club Med Québec Charlevoix has a robust menu of activities available year-round on an easy-to-navigate app throughout each day. Guests can choose from yoga and exercise classes, cooking sessions, dance lessons, and art workshops, making sure there is something for everyone throughout their stay.
