For most Canadians, the words “all-inclusive resort” are likely to conjure visions of beaches and palm trees, but Club Med has set out to change that with Club Med Québec Charlevoix, the first all-inclusive ski resort in North America. Here’s a look at what to expect from the storied chain’s very first property in the Great White North—opening this December—and its unique offering.

Skiing…and more

Imagine yourself leisurely gliding down the pristine slopes of Charlevoix’s Le Massif, and then skiing into a luxurious resort with breathtaking views of the St. Lawrence River at the end of the day. Dreamy, we know. Or if ice-skating, Nordic walking or snowshoeing is more up your alley, feel free to envision the activity that’s most likely to fill your cup while experiencing Quebec’s unique wintertime joie de vivre.

Whether your idea of disconnecting involves getting active outside, joining a fitness or yoga class, lounging by the indoor heated pool or hitting the hammam, Club Med Québec Charlevoix has something for everyone—including the kids—all year round, as the activities offered change with the seasons.

Entertainment and eats

After a full day of outdoor fun or just relaxing, it’s time to savour a gourmet meal featuring local and international cuisine—think delicacies like Quebec cheeses, charcuterie, fondue, maple products and more—at one of the resort’s various restaurants. Then make your way to the main bar and have a cocktail, a glass of wine or a pint of craft beer while you enjoy the evening entertainment before turning in for the night. One of the best things about hitting an all-inclusive resort is having access to all-day dining and open-bar options—it’s time to indulge!

Luxury accommodation

Club Med has put a lot of care into ensuring its new resort provides the legendary atmosphere and high-end experience the brand pioneered, offering two-, three- and seven-night packages that come with everything from ski passes and lessons to a veritable plethora of après-ski activities. Three types of accommodation are available—Superior, Deluxe and Suite—and each features carefully chosen decor elements inspired by the Charlevoix region and designed to highlight the beauty of the resort’s surroundings. The location is second to none, with its breathtaking waterfront panorama in a preserved natural landscape just over an hour away from Quebec City. To top it all off, the resort’s level of thoughtful customer service is bound to make your experience extra memorable.

Ready to book? We are! But you’d better be quick: We can already tell that the new resort is going to be a highly coveted ski vacation destination.
