TASTINGS WITH CHARLEVOIX PRODUCERS AND ARTISANS

This behind-the-scenes look at agricultural and artisan production covers cheese, wine, chocolate, cider, bread, organic meats, foie gras, beer, painters, natural products, weavers... Producers and artisans can accommodate groups of various sizes in both summer and winter.

PAINTING WORKSHOP WITH AN ARTIST

Let your creativity roam free by creating a fresco with your team or planning a painting workshop with a local artist. The results will surprise you! This activity may be adapted to suit your objectives and your team. Activity offered in collaboration with La Galerie d’art Iris.

SLEDDING AT LE MASSIF DE CHARLEVOIX

7.5 km of sheer delight and breathtaking landscapes. This activity begins with a 20-minute trip via “CatLuge” to Mont Liguori. The guides will take this time to go over the trail and a few safety tips. Once you arrive, your team will have a blast navigating the winding sled run that connects the base of the mountain to Le Massif de Charlevoix. A brief stop at the shelter located midway through the course will give you an opportunity to warm up fireside with a hot beverage, courtesy of the resort. The activity ends with gondola ride back up the mountain when everyone can share their day’s adventures. Departures in groups of 35. Find out more at lemassif.com.

COOKING OR PASTRY WORKSHOP

Delve into the art of making truffles with the hotel’s pastry chef or learn how to prepare a cocktail dinner with the chef at Les Labours restaurant. A wonderful bonding activity that gives your employees an out-of-the-ordinary experience.
