Beyond the ski lifts

While most visitors associate Beaupré with the nearby Mont‑Sainte‑Anne ski area, the town itself offers a quieter gateway to Charlevoix’s maritime charm. Stroll the waterfront promenade at sunrise and you’ll catch the light on the Saint‑Lawrence’s flat‑topped icebergs, a spectacle that rarely appears in guidebooks. Small cafés line Rue Main, serving locally roasted coffee in mugs stamped with the town’s seal – a subtle nod to Beaupré’s long‑standing role as a stopping point for river traffic. Those who linger can hop a short ferry across to Île d'Orléans for a taste of artisan cheese and lilac‑scented hedgerows, an experience that feels more intimate than the crowded mainland attractions.

Seasonal rhythms for the discerning traveller

Beaupré’s calendar is dictated by the river’s moods rather than a fixed festival schedule. In late spring, the ice recedes and the town’s boardwalk bursts with migratory birds, making it an excellent spot for birdwatchers tracking the Atlantic flyway. Autumn brings a quiet transformation as the foliage along Route 138 turns a muted ochre, perfect for cyclists who prefer rolling climbs over the steep ascents of the ski resort. Winter, aside from the ski season, offers a chance to explore the surrounding forests on snowshoes; locals often set up modest fire pits on frozen trails, a practice that provides both warmth and a glimpse into the community’s convivial winter spirit.

Introduction

Redirect to:Beaupre From the same page name with diacritics: This is a redirect from a page name that has diacritical marks (accents, umlauts, etc.) to essentially the same page name without those marks or a "List of..." page anchored to a promising list item name without diacritics. Apply this redirect (without piping) when the subject page concerns language translation or foreign language equivalents. Other pages that use this redirect should be updated with a direct link to the redirect target (again, without piping). Sort these redirects with {{DEFAULTSORT:(title without diacritics)}} and be sure to use a colon ( : ) rather than a pipe ( | ) to access the magic word directly. This rcat can also be used on redirects to sections and anchors to indicate the diacritics version of a term/name written both ways.
