The Region is a perfect destination for anyone who needs to re-energize, to commune with nature and to rediscover the very essence of skiing and enjoy the quality of Charlevoix and Casino at 10 minutes from de ski resort. Located 150 kilometres from Québec City, far from the frenzy, noise and crowds of fashionable ski centres, stands Mont Grand Fonds, majestic in all its peaceful glory. In addition to panoramic views of picturesque wilderness, this ski resort offers a friendly family atmosphere and a top-notch trail system that boasts plenty of snow and impeccably groomed trails.
Downhill skiing
With 14 runs built for maximum sunshine exposure, a vertical drop of 335 metres that mingles gentle and steep slopes clear of any false flats, as well as breathtaking views of vast reaches of pristine beauty, Mont Grand-Fonds can truly be considered Québec's brightest jewel for die-hard downhill skiers. The area enjoys an abundance of snow (the ski resort had over 600 cm of snowfall last year, even if in Quebec province knew a winter of rain) and attracts a host of enthusiasts who not only expect terrific ski conditions but also seek to avoid the commercialism so prevalent at many sports centres. Much to the delight of ski-club members who train on Mont Grand Fonds varied terrain, the resort features two downhill-certified runs as well as three glades, including one for experts. The course is serviced by a quadruple chairlift and T-bar.

Snowboarding and tubing
Mont Grand Fonds is also great fun for snowboarders. Riders are welcome on thirteen of the downhill runs, one of which features a snowpark with a number of obstacles, including a big air jump. While boarders indulge in their favourite frenzy, children can go tubing and careen to their hearts content.
