Charlevoix can thank a meteorite that fell to Earth some 350 million years ago, on what is today the site of the village Les Éboulements, for its magnificent geography. In 1988, a large part of the region was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. In this jealously guarded territory, two national parks are a haven for nature lovers: Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie, where deep valleys slice through imposing peaks; and Parc national des Grands-Jardins, land of taiga, tundra and caribou. With two sky-high hiking trails—the Sentier des caps (headland trail) and the Traversée de Charlevoix (Charlevoix crossing)—the region is heaven for hikers, cross-country skiers and snowshoers.
