Le Massif de Charlevoix Joins Ikon Pass for 2025-26 Ski Season
Le Massif is Ikon’s 23rd new partner in five years, its 11th Canadian mountain, and its 76th ski area overall
Ikon finds another big thing that most of us didn’t know about
It towers over the St. Lawrence, a snowy fortress, a wild complement to the Euro-walled Quebec City 45 miles downriver: Le Massif de Charlevoix. Oh the drama:
The stats: 2,526 vertical feet, a trio of high-speed quads, a gondola, 254 inches of annual snowfall, glades everywhere, an extra-ski-area-sized off-piste zone that requires some hiking (bleh) but offers big empty fun (yay!). Here’s a pictorial representation of the ski centre (sometimes referred to as a “trailmap” by Americans):
Le Massif is Ikon’s 23rd new partner in five years (though Windham, added in 2020, departs next winter), and its sixth for the 2025-26 ski season (more here). The mountain joins as a standard seven/five-day partner, with Ikon Base Pass blackouts.
And here’s the full Ikon Pass roster for 2025-26, with 76 ski areas across 11 countries, five continents, and one planet:
For those of us who count things, that’s 11 Canadian ski areas for Ikon. Which isn’t that many for a nation that would be the fourth-largest rocky planet in our solar system were it to somehow fracture itself from the earth’s crust and spin off into space. But Le Massif de Charlevoix (there are two Massif ski areas in Quebec, because of course there are), is just four hours north of Montreal, which is an hour and a half from Alterra-owned, unlimited-on-all-forms-of-Ikon Mont Tremblant. So this is a nice add geographically, though it’s not much closer for Montrealers (Montrealequois?) than Banff and the Powder Highway when considering aeroplanes and such.
Here's a deeper look at Ikon’s newest toy, and what this big block of snow and stone means for Ikon Pass holders looking to party in the winter of 2025-26:
