Le Massif de Charlevoix is the brainchild of Daniel Gaulthier, rising star in the community development field and best known for having founded one of Quebec and Canada’s greatest cultural exports: the worldwide phenomenon known as Le Cirque du Soleil.

By virtue of a symbiotic combination of creativity, authenticity, cultural and social sensitivity, Le Massif de Charlevoix allows its bucolic backdrops, inimitable experiences, gorgeous gastronomy and storied service to shine.

The goal of this tremendous project is to develop sustainable tourism through profoundly personal, visceral, original and environmental experiences within one of Quebec’s most beloved regions, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1989.
