Description
Le Massif de Charlevoix forest-chalets are nestled in a coniferous forest overlooking the St. Lawrence Valley, offering spectacular views of both river and mountain. The chalets are built on three levels: the living areas with their panoramic views on the top floor, the bedrooms on a second, more intimate floor offering semi-obscured views through the forest, and the ground floor giving directly onto the sloping terrain. A number of sites can be reached directly on skis.
The chalets feature a distinctive, modern design that reflects the philosophy associated with Le Massif—minimal environmental footprint in a protected forest environment; premium quality construction based on sustainable development principles; optimal orientation to take advantage of both the view and the sunlight; abundant, high-performance architectural windows; building shells that meet the highest energy efficiency standards; as well as healthy materials, energy-efficient appliances, and smart electrical and wood-based heating systems.
