This fall, explore the Charlevoix region on two or four wheels and make your way across magnificent and diverse landscapes. While the St. Lawrence Route and the Mountain Road are great places to start, there are also many other great options for surprising discoveries and astonishing circuits. Take the Art Trade Route to learn more about the know-how and talent that abounds in the region, while a motorcycle tour, which combines curves and valleys, will delight bikers looking to rev up their engines one last time before winter. Then there’s of course the Flavour Trail, which promises to delight both your eyes and taste buds!

The beauty of fall in Charlevoix is known for sparkling scenery, but did you known it’s also a great time to see whales? September and October are ideal months for observing the 13 species of cetaceans that live in the St. Lawrence. And as the weather cools, their warm breath is even more visible than in summer. Whether you’re on a cruise or on land, you’ll enjoy marvelling at the flamboyant landscapes and the incredible show put on by marine mammals. Everything you need for a picture-perfect fall getaway!
