    Le Massif de Charlevoix

À l'origine, c'est un autobus scolaire qui remontait les skieurs au Massif
Premier sentier de vélo à avoir été construit au Massif, Bus jaune est une douce montée vers le Mont à Liguori et offre parmi les plus beaux panoramas de la montagne.

Back in the days, an old school bus would get skiers back to the top at Le Massif!
The first bike trail to be built at Le Massif, Bus jaune (yellow bus) is an easy climbing trail towards the top of Mont à Liguori and has many of the best views on the mountain.
