The Project


Unique & Progressive

Le Massif de Charlevoix is more than simply a tourism initiative – it’s a truly integrated, community project emphasizing on the concept of Durable Touristic Development. Extending from Baie-Saint-Paul to the village of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, it is as authentic and inspiring as the river and mountains it overlooks.

Its three main destinations – two stationary and one mobile – are: Baie-Saint-Paul, the Mountain (Base & Summit) in the village of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, and the destination Train linking Quebec City to La Malbaie.

Vision. Mission. Values.

Values of the project

Respect. Enjoyment. Share. Challenge.

Our Business Sectors

The three main elements that make up Le Massif de Charlevoix also represent individual business sectors, each with their own employee selection process. In terms of employment opportunities, they are the following:

Mountain

Located in the village of Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, over the next few years the Mountain will be focused on becoming a true four-season destination. Its main areas of operation will be the following:
