Club Med Charlevoix to host second Elevation Festival

Club Med has announced the return of its signature Canadian summer event: the Elevation Festival at Club Med Québec Charlevoix.

As PAX previously reported, Club Med Charlevoix, which operates as a one-stop shop for skiing during winter, transforms into a playground for wellness, adventure, and reconnection throughout the summer months.

The 302-room resort is wedged into the slope of a forested region, at the foot of a ski hill, in between quiet villages, in a prime position: high up, facing the grand St. Lawrence River, on the north shore.

Located about an hour’s drive from Quebec City, Club Med in Charlevoix is the only waterfront ski resort in Le Massif (the name of the area and company that owns the mountain, including the Club Med building itself).

Here, winter guests can access 40 kilometres of slopes carved into the highest vertical drop east of the Rockies.

But when summer hits, Club Med Quebec Charlevoix beats a slightly different drum.

With skiing out of the picture, the property connects guests to the outdoors in other ways, via hiking and biking trails on Le Massif de Charlevoix, sky-high gondola rides, and other wellness activities, such as yoga, meditation, spin classes in studios (and a gym) that faces trees that emerged from the ground two centuries ago.

The property’s nature-chic design puts a Canadian stamp on it all.

From the moment you enter the cozy lobby on the ground floor, nods to Canada immediately pop: cardinal-red paint, locally-sourced woods, plaid carpeting, a wall installation featuring snow shoes, sleds and faux elk and moose heads.

Canadiana flows into the accommodations as well.

Suite categories include Superior, Deluxe and the Exclusive Collection (Club Med’s highest service level option), all of which have balconies and versions for couples and families.

Running from June through October, the resort’s Elevation Festival is designed for wellness seekers,

active families, and curious minds, inviting guests to slow down, recharge, and be inspired by

the beauty of Québec’s natural surroundings.
