Abundant snowfall and the highest vertical drop in Eastern Canada make le Massif the skiers choice for a great get-away. Newly built in 1992, the ski area offers terrain for all levels of skiers, and a special treat for those who like to ski powder. If you haven't experienced this transcendent level of skiing, it might be worth it to take some powder lessons through the ski school. It's an experience ever skier should have.

Of course, powder skiing is not easy at first. But if the snow is light, it is worth a try. If you have never skied powder and are looking for a new experience, the real spiritual dimension of skiing is revealed in powder,spoken of bdevotees as "pow " or "powpow".

When you're playing hard, there's nothing better than eating hard! le Massif's fabulous bistro-style cafeteria offers various dishes often inspired by regional culture. Taste the delicious Migneron cheese; exclusive to the Charlevoix region. Bite into our vegetables fresh from the Lacoste greenhouses. Taste a Caribou burger when the meat is in season.  

Located in the Charlevoix Biosphere, le Massif if offers a wealth of bird and wildlife viewing possibilities. It was for this reason that it wasn't until 1992 that full investments were made to build le Massif into the world class resort it deserves to be. Until then, skiers were brought up by bus to the top of the mountain! Consider this top notch resort a unique experience in Eastern North America.
