Did you know that the movie “The Dog Who Stopped the War” (“La Guerre des Tuques”) was shot in Charlevoix? Bring back childhood memories by visiting Le Versant’s snow fort. Located at the reception area, between the pool and the ice rinks, the snow fort is definitely the most unique place to socialize. After a long day outside, enjoy a good cup of hot chocolate or a glass of hot wine. Call a truce and have some fun!
