Mainly practiced on calm water, stand-up paddle boarding (also called “SUP”) provides an instant feeling of zenitude. This very accessible activity allows you to progress on water at your own pace while being in close tune with nature. Whether you are looking for an introductory course, a SUP yoga session or a gourmet excursion, the Quality-Safety certified businesses in our network will take care of everything to provide you with an unforgettable experience. Several regional parks also offer paddle board rentals.
Charlevoix is a region where natural and cultural attractions pair up with soaring mountains and the colossal St. Lawrence River. A UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve, the Tourisme Charlevoix visitor region is a must-see for practising outdoor and adventure activities. Both Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie and Parc national des Grands-Jardins offer a full lineup of outdoor activities including hiking, via ferrata, canoeing, kayaking, Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, dog-sledding and snowmobiling. See the region’s 350 million-year-old crater, plan a long-distance hike on La Traversée de Charlevoix’s 100 km trail that crisscrosses the backcountry, offering beautiful vistas across the region, or the more daring can try winter kayaking amid the ice floes. This is but a short list of the territory’s many assorted visitor experiences.
