Club Med Charlevoix guests regain ski access at Le Massif despite strike

Le Massif de Charlevoix – home to Club Med Québec-Charlevoix – resumed partial and capacity-controlled operations on Jan. 6 to minimize the impact of an ongoing strike led by the union representing some employees.

During limited-operations phase, Le Massif de Charlevoix will be open from Wednesday to Saturday, between 9:15 a.m. and 3:15 p.m., in the Camp-Boule sector only, and access will be restricted to the following guests:

• Le Massif de Charlevoix season passholders
• Ski-and-stay package guests, including Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective members, staying in accommodations managed by Le Massif de Charlevoix
• Guests of Club Med Québec-Charlevoix

According to a press release, the gradual approach “allows the resort to resume activities in a responsible manner while ensuring a safe environment for guests and staff.”

For subsequent weeks, operations are planned from Tuesday to Saturday. Hours of operation are subject to change without notice.

As a precaution, and to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience, strict capacity management and safety protocols will be in place, Le Massif says, noting that measures may be adjusted based on operational capacity.

Further information on contingency measures will be communicated directly to season passholders and guests staying in on-mountain accommodations manage by Le Massif.

Aside from access to the washrooms at the summit lodge, no on-mountain services will be available.

Cafeteria and bar services, the repair workshop and the retail shop remain suspended. Mountain operations will also be suspended on Sundays and Mondays.

Le Massif de Charlevoix also reminds its season passholders that their passes include access to Mont Grand-Fonds throughout the month of January, helping further reduce the impact of the current situation.

“Every effort is being made to minimize the impact of the strike on guests, despite circumstances beyond our control,” the company said. “We continue to work diligently toward a durable and constructive resolution.”
