Located north of Quebec City, in Petite-Rivière-Saint-François in Charlevoix region, our first Mountain resort on the American continent offers a unique skiing experience: hurtle down the slopes and marvel at the panoramic view of the St. Lawrence River.
After more than two years of work led by Groupe Le Massif, and an investment of 84 million euros, Club Med Quebec Charlevoix opened at the end of 2021.
The resort permitted the creation of 350 direct jobs, of which 215 positions have been filled by Canadians, and 400 indirect jobs.

The architectural project
The Resort was designed by architects and interior design consultants Lemaymichaud. The modern style recalls Quebecois patchwork quilts: a combination of colors, textures and shapes inspired by the four seasons, is a key feature. Rethought aspects of traditional Quebec architecture illustrate how the Resort changes in winter. Local materials, such as blond wood and leather made by artisans were used for the interior design. Rooms are decorated in a true Quebecois style: the outline of the boreal forest on the partition separating the bedroom from the bathroom, old barn doors painted in carmine red, Hudson Bay Company cushions, log tables, and more.
The building’s curves were designed to naturally mirror the land on which it is built, and to offer guests as much sunlight as possible to enjoy the spectacular surroundings and the river from indoors.
“Our mission was clear: pay tribute to Quebec. Our team rethought local traditions and did their utmost for this outstanding location. The fact that the sea and the mountains can be enjoyed simultaneously in Quebec inspired our work. The whole construction is full of things recalling our history, folklore and culture. Our entire team pooled all their individual skills for the architecture, interior design and graphic designs. After 9 years hard work, we are proud to deliver a stand-out Resort to a stand-out client. ”
