Its rolling hills (a designated World Biosphere Reserve), its <em>joie de vivre<\/em> and its proximity to the St. Lawrence River make it a top destination for travellers keen to get better acquainted with the Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public transportation is rather scarce, and honestly, ill-advised. In a place where beauty unfolds at every turn, you&#8217;ll want to have the liberty of a driving your own car and stop any time your heart swells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amongst the most popular things to do in Charlevoix:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Parc National des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivi\u00e8re-Malbaie<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>What the locals refer to simply as &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sepaq.com\/pq\/hgo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the Haute Gorges<\/a>&#8221; is a magnificent national park ideal for low-effort-high-reward hiking (aka the only kind of hiking I&#8217;m into) thanks to the outstanding views shaped by fjord-like glacial valleys reaching over 1,000 metres in altitude. While hiking is a priority, other sports are also available on-site, such as kayaking, fatbiking, SUP, fishing, and in wintertime, snowshoeing and dogsledding. There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sepaq.com\/en\/reservation\/cabin\/parc-national-des-hautes-gorges-de-la-riviere-malbaie\/chalet-echo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fully-equiped Nordic cabins<\/a> onsite for visitors wishing to stay overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baie-Saint-Paul<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourisme-charlevoix.com\/en\/sectors\/baie-saint-paul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Baie Saint-Paul<\/a> is a quaint and lively area filled with painters and troubadours right on the coast of the St. Lawrence. This is where you&#8217;ll find some of the best restaurants, microbreweries, p\u00e2tisseries, and all kinds of epicurean pleasures Quebec is known for. It&#8217;s also one of the oldest and best-preserved villages in the province with remarkable New France architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re not too keen on renting a car to get there, perhaps a <a href=\"https:\/\/traindecharlevoix.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">luxurious, waterfront train<\/a> ride would be more suitable for you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking about staying overnight (and you should)?

Famous for its foodie heritage, it would be unthinkable to make it to <a href=\"https:\/\/tourismeisleauxcoudres.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Isle-aux-Coudres<\/a> and not stop at its cider house and 150-year old mill.

But if you&#8217;re an animal lover, then by all means, indulge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travel along the Saint Lawrence River to Baie-Sainte-Catherine. From there, choose from two vastly different boating experiences: a small, speedy zodiac or a large, three-level observation vessel. Enjoy an exceptional view on this 3-hour cruise in search of whales, seals and belugas.

\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Welcome to one of Canada\u2019s most famous attractions! There is no such thing as visiting Quebec City in winter and not going the extra mile to Valcartier, where the emblematic&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.valcartier.com\/fr\/hebergement\/hotel-de-glace\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ice hotel<\/a>&nbsp;is now located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open from early January to late March, weather permitting, the ephemeral structure is nonetheless stunning in both allure and architecture. Rebuilt and redesigned every winter. To clarify, summers in Quebec are quite warm and nowhere cold enough to keep an ice hotel running. Quite the contrary in fact: Valcartier Park is home to a water park the in summertime! Guests can choose to stay overnight in one of the uniquely-designed 45 rooms and suites; I\u2019ve been told that it\u2019s actually a remarkably comfortable experience! Body warmth and high-performance sleeping bags keep visitors toasty throughout the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those only looking to visit and enjoy the spectacular facilities, that\u2019s also possible. Whatever you do, though, make sure to indulge in the tradition and have a cocktail served in a glass made out of ice! Now in its 20th year of operation, Hotel de Glace is a truly singular destination that will have both young and not so young visitors in awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To most Qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.valcartier.com\/en\/activities\/winter-playground\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Valcartier<\/a>&nbsp;is the ultimate winter playground in the province \u2013 also the largest one in North America. Being a poor skier means I often resort to tubing as my go-to wintry activity and the short yet exhilarating ride down is still thrilling even after 30 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Valcartier has over 35 slides as well as skating rinks and snow rafting for hours of fun on end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"http:\/\/tidd.ly\/ff6c5398\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ice hotel visit &amp;
