The best way to experience Mountain Road is to take your time. Along the route, stops in Saint-Urbain, Notre-Dame-des-Monts and Saint-Aimé-des-Lacs give visitors a chance to pause, admire the mountain scenery and learn more about the region. These villages are also great places to refuel and discover the authentic charm of Charlevoix’s backcountry.

Local producers, such as Les Viandes Bio de Charlevoix and the Centre de l’Émeu de Charlevoix, also offer a taste of products unique to the region. As the road unfolds, the Quebec mountains reveal magnificent scenery in every season, with plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy along the way, including hiking, canoeing, via ferrata, Nordic skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
