UHU
Nestled amidst the snow-covered forests of Charlevoix, UHU at Repère Boréal offers an intimate retreat for couples and families. These minimalist cabins blend seamlessly with nature, allowing you to disconnect from the digital world and reconnect with the tranquility of the outdoors. Imagine waking up to the soft glow of morning light filtering through the trees, sipping hot cocoa by the wood stove, and soaking in your private outdoor hot tub. UHU cabins are the epitome of cozy, snug, and utterly delightful.
Le Yak
For adventure seekers, Le Yak at La Malstrom is an absolute gem. Perched on the shores of Lac Saint-Jean, these floating cabins offer a unique experience. Picture yourself gazing at the moon’s reflection on the water from your solarium, surrounded by pristine snow. There’s no Wi-Fi or electricity here, making it a true digital detox. Lace up your snowshoes and explore the nearby trails during the day, then cozy up by the wood stove at night. It’s a rustic escape that promises serenity and connection with nature.
Lagom
Lagom, a Swedish word meaning “just right,” perfectly describes the experience at Le Malstrom. These modern cabins are designed for balance—neither too big nor too small, just right. Located near Mont Tremblant, Lagom offers easy access to skiing, snowboarding, and other winter activities. After a day on the slopes, unwind in your cozy cabin, sip hot mulled wine, and watch the snow fall outside. It’s the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation.
Hygge
Hygge, the Danish concept of coziness and contentment, finds its home at Le Malstrom. These charming cabins exude warmth and simplicity. Curl up with a good book, listen to the crackling fire, and let the snowflakes dance outside your window. The nearby Mont-Sainte-Anne offers thrilling ski runs, while the heated outdoor pool at the chalet invites you to unwind after an active day. Hygge is more than a buzzword—it’s a way of life here.
