Hiking trails allow visitors to explore Charlevoix’s majestic forests at their own pace while observing the local flora and fauna. Some trails lead to peaks offering breathtaking views of the Charlevoix landscape. In addition, at some outfitters, picking edible berries enhances the experience, offering a tasty reward during the hike.

With their many lakes and bodies of water, as well as a calm and uncrowded environment, Charlevoix’s outfitters in Quebec are the ideal setting for a host of water activities: kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, swimming, pedal boating, and more. Some of this equipment is included with accommodation, while other items are available for rent on site.

For visitors looking for a little more adrenaline, some outfitters also offer access to mountain bike trails, ATV trails, and other motorized activities, allowing you to explore the area in a different way.
