Nestled in the Laurentian Mountains atop Le Massif de Charlevoix, a resort area renowned for its dramatic natural vistas, Chalet Bertha commands stunning views. From its vantage point, you are treated to expansive scenes of dense forests, the majestic Saint Lawrence River and the charming town of Baie-Saint-Paul, celebrated for its vibrant arts-and-crafts scene.
Named in homage to the alpine deity Perchta from Germanic mythology, also known as the "bright one", this three-storey chalet is a standout in a private enclave of 46 identical homes. It belongs to a business couple, avid nature enthusiasts who see this retreat as their haven for ski weekends and extended getaways with loved ones. The expansive 7,500 sq ft space comprises five luxurious bedroom suites and baths, accommodating up to 18 guests. Consequently, Chalet Bertha is not only a private escape but also serves as an idyllic setting for short-term lettings, hosting everything from corporate retreats to intimate conferences and leisurely holidays
BE OUR GUEST
Inside the architectural shell by architect Luc Tremblay, multidisciplinary studio Perron Design fashioned the interiors of this magnificent chalet to marry the cosiness of a home with the opulence of a five-star hotel, with a special focus on spaces for well-being in which family, friends and guests would feel as comfortably as they do at home.
