Le Massif - La Jean-Noël to La Gagne to La Combe to L'Ancienne (Easiest Way Down)

Описание: La Jean-Noël to La Gagne to La Combe to L'Ancienne is a beginner ski run located at Le Massif de Charlevoix. The trails run from the Chalet du Sommet (Summit Lodge) down to the bottom of the Massif Express gondola and the Club Med resort and is the easiest way down between the two points. The run begins to the slight skiers' left of the top of the Massif Express, eventually turning to the left onto Jean-Noël which gently winds its way down the top of the mountain before turning left onto La Gagne. La Gagne continues gently running down the mountain before coming to an intersection with La Desjardins. Here, I stayed to the right to ski onto La Combe, which gently makes its way from the Camp-Boule area, back towards the center of the resort. After passing underneath the Massif Express, I stayed to the left to ski onto L'Ancienne, which passes by the mid-station of the gondola before completing a gentle switchback and arriving at the bottom of the Massif Express.

Le Massif de Charlevoix is a ski resort located near Petite-Rivière-Saint-François, Québec in Canada. The resort is located on the northern bank of the Saint Lawrence River, approximately a 1-hour drive northeast of Québec City, a 3.5-hour drive northeast of Montreal, and a 5.5-hour drive northeast of Ottawa, Ontario. The resort is known for having the largest vertical drop of any ski area in Eastern Canada and for its fantastic up-close views of the Saint Lawrence River. The resort features terrain for all ability levels, with the terrain typically becoming easier the further north of the mountain, with the southern half, served by the Maillard Express, being home to some of the most difficult ski runs in Québec, and the northern half being served by the Massif Express gondola, which is more intermediate and beginner friendly. Meanwhile, the Grande-Pointe Express serves the middle of the resort, allowing access to both halves of the resort. Le Massif offers parking, lodging, and services at both the top and the bottom of the mountain, with most day visitors choosing to park at the summit due to its easier access from populated areas. In 2021, the resort partnered with Club Med to open its first all-inclusive resort in Canada, located at the base of the mountain. The resort is owned by businessman Daniel Gauthier, is not a member of any megapass, and limits day tickets to control crowds.
